When time allows in-home visits to check vital signs, blood sugar, perform foot evaluations, and light dressing changes are available. The in-home visits also provide the opportunity for our staff to discuss and educate the Elders on preventative care and health maintenance issues. Additionally, transportation is provided to and from physician appointments, rehabilitation centers, laboratory appointments, counseling sessions, diabetes wellness luncheons, and other educational and special events.
