Essential Home Health Care Home Health Programs
Diabetes Care Program
Our home health diabetes program enables qualified patients to manage their symptoms and reduce their chances of returning to the hospital. We collaborate with your healthcare team to provide skilled nursing, therapy, home health aides, and other diabetes-management services in the comfort of your own home.
Over 34 million adults in the United States have diabetes, and one in every five are unaware of their condition. Diabetes puts people at risk of developing other conditions such as heart failure, high blood pressure, stroke, wounds, and kidney disease if it is not effectively managed.
