Oncology Care

AseraCare Home Health’s oncology disease management program and home health services strive to ensure you or your loved one receives the care best suited to his or her individual needs. Our goals are to significantly improve your ability to manage your condition within the home setting; reduce visits to the physician’s office and emergency room; provide early recognition of appropriate signs and symptoms to allow for faster and easier treatment by a physician if needed; and improve your overall health.

Education and experience are an important element of a successful oncology disease home health program. We recognize that patients with cancer need guidance specific to the management of their disease symptoms.

Each visit to your home includes a comprehensive physical assessment and education regarding best practice for safe home management of your condition, medication and dietary regimen, as well as proper use of any physician ordered equipment.

In addition, our clinicians will:

• Educate and train you and your loved ones about various facets of your disease
• Develop and assist you with a customized home health and exercise plan
• Monitor vital signs and assess you for any early signs of infection
• Provide wound care
• Provide medication education and assist with managing your medications
• Draw blood for lab work
• Provide rehabilitative therapy to assist you with functional limitations and energy conservation techniques
• Actively involve you in managing you or your loved one’s condition
• Assist you with accessing community resources

Ultimately, the goal of each AseraCare Home health agency is to reduce the stress and pressure patients and families experience, manage symptoms, and help move you or your loved one toward a quality recovery.
