Home Care | Private Duty


 

There's no place like home for healing
When you're ill or recovering from an injury, there's no place you'd rather be than home with the people you love. ARMC offers a full spectrum of "in home" healthcare ranging from assistance with everyday needs to high-tech procedures. Simply being in comfortable, familiar surroundings has proven to be one step toward a speedy recovery.

What is home healthcare?
Home healthcare, simply put, is healthcare delivered in a patient's home. Home healthcare services can range from at-home nursing care or rehabilitation following a hospital stay, to ongoing assistance with daily activities such as shopping, meal preparation, or bathing. Technological breakthroughs allow us to deliver state-of-the-art medical equipment and to provide advanced medical care to patients right where they live.

Are in-home services covered by insurance?
Many insurances provide payment for care provided in the home, depending on the nature of the injury or illness or other patient circumstance. ARMC Home Care Services accepts payment from the following sources: Medicare, Medicaid, direct payment from individuals, private health insurance, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and workers’ compensation. Our trained staff is available to assist you in finding out what services may be covered by your insurance.
