With locations in Hackensack and Secaucus, Home Health Services of Hackensack has been selected as the preferred home health provider of Hackensack University Medical Center.

Whether you are coming home from the hospital, or have been diagnosed with a chronic disease such as diabetes or COPD, having the support of a skilled nurse to help manage your condition can help you and your family gain confidence and independence. When your condition limits your mobility, your doctor may order home health care to provide medical treatment in your home, with the goal of helping you recover and regain your independence.

Home health care is often appropriate for elderly patients with the following conditions: congestive heart failure (CHF), COPD, diabetes, orthopedic recovery, stroke, chronic kidney disease, wound care, dementia and behavioral health needs. Talk with your doctor if you think home health care may be right for you.
