Home Health

Home Health options provide skilled nursing, available to people who wish to remain in their homes while receiving treatment or follow-up care. Referrals to home care can be made by anyone. A referral is followed by a no-charge assessment visit, after which an individualized plan of care is developed.

Nursing care is provided by public health nurses, RNs and LPNs on an intermittent basis in the home setting.

Home Health Aide assistance to patients in the home setting may offer them help with bathing and dressing, exercise, meal preparation, housekeeping, and laundry. Home health aides are required to complete a state-approved training program.

Homemaking services are available to assist patients in their homes with a variety of non-personal care tasks, such as housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and errands.

Personal Care Attendant services are provided by the state of Minnesota to individuals with chronic disabilities who need help with personal cares. Personal care attendants at LNS meet the same training requirements as home health aides and may assist patients with bathing and dressing, non-complex treatment, and exercise.

Respite Services are designed to enable primary care givers to take time off. This service does not provide for personal cares.
