Questions & Answers

My father needs to have blood drawn for tests, and it is hard for him to get out of the house, can you do that for him?: Yes we can, but it is not a service that insurance or Medicare will pay for. One of our nurses can draw the blood, and your dad will pay for the service.

My mother needs help taking a bath twice a week and needs help cleaning up her apartment. Can you do that?: No, VNS can only provide home care services that are skilled. We can help you get this type of help through our sister agency, Community Health and Home Care.

My wife has become ill and cannot get out of bed. Can you help me take care of her?: Yes, if her doctor is willing to sign medical orders for a nurse to evaluate her and see if she has a skilled need for a nurse or physical therapist.

My developmentally disabled child needs to have intravenous medications. Can you do that for him?: Yes we can. You should ask his doctor if he/she is willing to give VNS orders for that care. If he/she is willing, then we will help with the rest of the arrangements to allow our nurses to come into your home to provide the intravenous therapy and to teach you how to do it if you are able.
