Tri-City Medical Center's Home Care Department brings the highest quality services into your home. Our focus is to provide continuity of care, either following hospitalization or as an alternative to being in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.

Benefits of Home Care

By receiving medical care, treatment, counseling and nursing services at home, patients enjoy a number of benefits.

• The patient remains close to family and friends and does not have to stay at the hospital or move to a nursing home.
  
  
• Carefully conceived treatment plans can help reduce healthcare costs.
  
  
• The patient may regain health more quickly by recuperating at home.
  
  
• A registered nurse is always available should patients have a concern or emergency.
  
  
• Services are available seven days a week, 24 hours per day.

Experience and Expertise for Quality Care

Each member of our Home Care team is screened for appropriate licensing and certification, training and experience. Our staff members receive continuing education and training in their fields of specialty to stay abreast of the most current treatment practices.

Our Quality Improvement Program carefully monitors all healthcare services to maintain the highest standards of care and patient satisfaction.

Tri-City Home Care is bonded, licensed and certified as a home care agency, and complies with all state and federal requirements. Our agency is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).

How to Take Advantage of Home Care

Referrals are welcome from family, friends, health care workers, neighbors, physicians and clergy. All patients are treated regardless of race, age, color, religion, sex, disability, or status as a veteran. Contact Tri-City Medical Center Home Care at (760) 940-5800.

Coordination of Care

Medicare, Medi-Cal, workers' compensation or private insurance may cover home health services. We research and verify insurance coverage at no cost to the patient. If covered, we process the billing; if not covered, we work to minimize costs as much as possible.
