Giving your health a home court advantage
Health Link Home Health Agency provides personalized in-home health care to individuals and families. Our CA-certified, licensed and registered staff collaborate with you and your family as well as your medical team to ensure that we are providing the highest quality treatment. We communicate and work together with you to ensure the proper administration of your Plan of Care and oversee your journey in attaining an optimal recovery and independence. Our goal is to facilitate the best possible environment for your care because we know that there is no place like home to get well.We require all of our staff to meet the highest employment standards including a rigorous background screening and application process. This includes: relevant experience, a multitude of references, CA health-licensing/certificate and active continuing education. We take our patients' right to medical privacy seriously. Health Link does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, nationality color, disability or handicap in neither its admissions nor its provisions of quality client care. Although home health care services typically range from a few weeks to a few months, at times, they can be extended due to certified medical need. No matter the time frame, our main goal is to help every patient regain self-sufficiency.
