While sometimes a stay in a healthcare facility is unavoidable, you may
have another option. Depending on your situation, our Touro at Home services
may be able to provide healthcare in your own home—making it much
easier on our senior patients. We’d love to offer you our expertise!
Touro at Home provides intermittent care to our patients at home. Many
seniors are thrilled to learn that they can receive care in the comfort
and privacy of their own homes. Our team is composed of several disciplines,
including your own physician, and our hospital case managers who work
with senior patients every step of the way. Services available include:
Skilled Nursing
Our nursing team has years of combined expertise under their belt. Under
their care, you'll feel safer in your own home and less worried about
your current health condition.
Home Care Aides
Our experienced home care aides are here to help you thrive in daily life.
They might help your loved one with taking medication, checking vital
signs, and much more.
Physical Therapy
If you've recently had surgery and are working toward improved mobility,
our physical therapy team is here for you. We'll help you recover from
your operation or injury as smoothly as possible.
Occupational Therapy
Need some help with daily tasks? Occupational therapy sessions can improve
your motor skills, making it much easier to eat, dress, and bathe on your own.
Speech/Language Pathology
We work with patients who have difficulty when speaking or who have lost
the ability to speak due to a stroke.
Nutritional Counseling
Many of us struggle with creating a healthy diet. With our expert team
at your side, you'll know exactly which foods are best for a healthy life.
Medical Social Services
Our medical social services team is here to support your loved one and
your family throughout their time in our care. We'll help coordinate care
and assist your loved one in navigating the mental and emotional aspects
of health.
Our specialized programs
Each person’s home health regimen looks a little different, so we
make sure we offer a variety of resources that support each of our senior’s
unique needs. Ask your doctor about enrolling in one of our specialized
programs, which include infusion therapy, wound care, congestive heart
failure treatment, orthopedic recovery, diabetes management, and more.
Licensed Senior Care
It’s always hard to entrust your loved one to someone else’s
care. You’ll be happy to know our Touro at Home program is licensed
by the state of Louisiana, and we meet the requirements to be a Medicare-Certified
Agency. Rest assured, too, that we are committed to upholding the Home
Care Standards established by the Joint Commission.
There are eligibility requirements to qualify for home healthcare. Patients
requiring home health services should discuss the potential need for Touro
at Home care with their physicians. Often, the hospital social workers
or nurses can initiate the referral process. We can assist patients in
determining insurance coverage.
