COORDINATION OF SERVICE PROVIDERS

In order to assure the highest level of care for you or your loved one(s), we often coordinate services with other Providers such as Hospice and other Medical Home Health Care Agencies. These agencies can provide the necessary medical care needed, usually covered by Medicare or other Insurance, and would not interfere with the services that Angels By Your Side, Inc. can offer.

 

In addition, we coordinate services with other Agencies such as Senior Services, Pioneer Center for the Exceptional, Family Alliance, and numerous Assisted Living and Long-Term Care Facilities.

 

And, if we are unable to meet your needs, we will be happy to refer you to other Non-Medical Home Care Service Providers in your area.
