Welcome Santa Rita Home Health!
Home Health Services
Having been in the healthcare industry for over 35 years, Santa Rita understands the medical needs of those patients that need skilled home health care, and those that need some additional assistance with day to day tasks and activities of daily living. That is where Santa Rita’s Home Health Division can help! We offer skilled Nursing, Physical and Occupational therapy at home, when ordered by a physician. Our Home Health nursing and therapy staff can administer medications, change dressings, perform range of motion activities, and help create an individualized plan of care that allows patients to regain their independence and prior level of functioning, as well as have a successful transition from hospital or skilled nursing facility, to home and avoid further hospitalizations.

For those who may not need to regime of in home nursing or therapies, but still need some assistance, or for loved ones who need respite, our Caregivers are the perfect solution. We offer a variety of packages that include different daily and weekly services to make the most of the time your caregiver has with you.
Our trustworthy, reliable and dedicated caregivers go through the same extensive and thorough background checks and comprehensive training as all of our inpatient staff. They are carefully screened, references checked, CPR and first aid certified, fingerprinted, and undergo ongoing training by our licensed nursing and therapy staff in all areas of care. Additionally, all employees are bonded and insured.
Santa Rita’s Caregiving services offer flexible schedules from 1 hour of service to live-in’s, on-call staff available 24 hours a day, and a Care Manager that coordinates with family members, and your physician to create a service plan that best meets your needs.
