Pennock Homecare now brings modern medical technology into your home. Today hospital stays are shorter and therapies are highly specialized. Homecare services often permit earlier hospital discharge with many therapies being performed at home. This allows for healing and teaching of therapy in familiar, comfortable surroundings, enhancing privacy, independence and a partnership in recovery.

Homecare Services would like to be your partner in recovery. We offer a smooth transition of care from physician or hospital to home services. Care begins with a phone call; soon after that nurses, aides and/or therapists will visit the patient at home to provide the needed services. Pennock Homecare will handle all of the billing, relieving you of paperwork concerns. We accept assignment from Medicare and Medicaid and participate with Blue Cross/Blue Shield and many other private insurances.

Registered Nurse (RN) will open every case with an assessment and an explanation of services. Nurses may change surgical and other wound dressing, give injections, draw blood and assess the patient per doctor's orders. Nurses also teach the patient, or others assisting the patient, how to perform self-care, as well as educate the patient on symptom, pain and medication management.

Psychiatric Nursing - Under a physician's order, the psychiatric nurse provides the skilled nurse assessment along with mental assessment, emotional, behavioral and psycho social assessments as well as reassessments. The nurse will enhance mental health wellness and educate the patient family and staff in meeting the related needs.

Physical Therapist (PT) will evaluate and treat the patient in conjunction with the physician's prescription. Therapy may include exercises to restore function, instruction on the use of assistive devices, observation and measurement of progress.

Occupational Therapist (OT) under a physician's order may assist with activities of daily living, exercises to increase motion, and evaluate adaptive equipment to increase independence.

Speech Therapist (ST) also provides therapy in conjunction with a physician's prescription, which may include teaching and training designed to assist with speech and swallowing difficulties.

Medical Social Worker (MSW) provides social casework to patients and their families. This includes guidance counseling, and assistance with social, economic and psychological needs, as well as long term planning.

Home Health Aide (HHA), under the direction and supervision of an RN, provides personal care in the absence of a willing and able caregiver.
