Professional Nursing Services
Home health care is not the same for everyone. Some people need someone to assist with walking and hygiene, making sure they live in a clean environment and get healthy meals. At Harbor Care Associates, we have specially trained caregivers for these needs.
Some people require additional care from medical professionals
Harbor Care Associates employs registered nurses, home health aides, and certified nursing assistants who are carefully selected for experience, training, and empathy. Not only must they be professional, competent, and knowledgeable, but our nurses must care about the people they help. Our nurses become very involved with the families they serve and for whom they care for. Harbor Care Associates can provide customized skilled nursing care for the elderly, those with dementia, diabetics, victims of head and spine trauma, and progressive diseases such as Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis.
