The
Catawba County Home Health Agency is community
based, non-profit organization, certified
by Medicare and Medicaid and accredited by
the Joint Commission on Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations, to provide home health services to people in their homes.
Since 1973, the highly trained staff of CCHHA
have been providing skilled nursing, therapy,
Home Health Aides and other medical services
to individuals of all ages in Catawba County
who do not necessarily need hospitalization,
but still require medical and therapeutic
care due to illness or injury. All of the
services are provided by the agency's licensed
or certified professional staff and are coordinated
and supervised by the patient's private physician.
The agency is committed and dedicated to
maintaining and supporting patient independence
as well as teaching family members/caregivers
to care for the patient's illness or injury
in the home.
Home
health care has changed tremendously over
the past 30 years, and most recently with
the implementation of the Home Health Prospective
Payment System (PPS) beginning Oct 1, 2000.
We are confident that CCHHA will continue
to provide the citizens of Catawba and
surrounding counties with the same outstanding
care, compassion, continuity and customer
service as evidenced by physician and physical
therapist satisfaction survey ratings of
99-100% during the last fiscal year.
There
are many advantages to Home Health care:
Personal
care in the comfort and privacy of
your own home, surrounded by friends
and loved ones
Quality
care provided by highly trained professionals
Shorter
recovery time ... people usually recover
more quickly at home in familiar surroundings
Lower
cost ... often much lower than care
in a hospital or long-term care facility
OUR
MISSION STATEMENT
We
will provide a wide range of quality health
service to the residents of Catawba County
from birth to death in the individual's
place of residence. We will strive to improve,
maintain, and monitor the individual's
disease processes to restore his/her health
status to individual's maximal rehabilitation
potential. We will provide health education
to promote health through the prevention
