Bluegrass Home Health Care Celebrates One Year Supporting Healing and Convenience for Patients in their Homes
There is no substitute for the comfort of home, especially when recovering from illness or injury, or when managing a chronic condition. Since 2022, Bluegrass Home Health Care has cared for more than 850 patients and families, helping them to recover and maintain their best health at home. BCN began offering home health in the region last year following an acquisition.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better team to adopt and build upon,” Carma Potts, Executive Director of Home Care Services, said. “Working for BCN is more than a job to this team, it’s an investment in their community. We have put a lot of thought into the many changes over the past year, and we are taking steps to ensure our clinical staff is practicing at the top of their license with hands-on trainings and education.”
Bluegrass Home Health Care offers a range of in-home medical services tailored to the patient’s needs. Services include traditional home health, Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment Special Services (EPSDT), Home and Community-Based Waiver Services and Outpatient Incontinence Supplies. As part of Bluegrass Home Health Care, patients have access to skilled nursing care, aid services, medical social services, and physical, occupational and speech therapy to restore patients to the best quality of life possible.
Last year, a local farmer decided to try home health. He had not been actively farming for about a year due to significant health problems and needing to use oxygen. Home health providers worked with him for several months, the team equipped him with a portable oxygen device, and the occupational therapist even rode with him on a tractor to help him safely return to his daily activities.
“Our home health staff joined the BCN team from various healthcare backgrounds, and all have banded together to form a dedicated team,” Holly Webb, Home Health Clinical Manager, said. “We continue to learn, grow and provide the best, patient-centered care. I am eternally blessed and thankful to help lead and shape the Bluegrass Home Health Care Team!”
“We are so grateful to the patients and families in the Cynthiana region who have allowed us to serve them in other service lines for more than 30 years and now through our home health services,” Liz Fowler, president and CEO of BCN, said. “We value the trust these families give us by allowing us into their lives and homes and appreciate our team members who consistently provide expert and compassionate care.”
Anyone who is interested in home health services provided by Bluegrass Home Health Care should speak to their physician or healthcare provider about their care needs.
