Mental Health Support in the Comfort of Home
When it comes to behavioral health conditions, mental health home care can help homebound adults manage their symptoms and conditions with personalized support — all in the comfort of familiar surroundings.
Our Behavioral Health Home Care Program is designed to support patients and families who live with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, dementia, agoraphobia, Alzheimer’s or any other behavioral health conditions. This in-home treatment offers dedicated care and is billable under traditional Medicare.
