November is National Home Care
& Hospice Month
We would like to take the opportunity during
National Home Care & Hospice Month to share some of
our achievements.
For over 38 years, Franklin County Home Health
Agency has provided exceptional home and community based health care to the
residents of Franklin County.
We take pride in bringing medically
necessary home health care wherever it is needed, regardless of a
client’s ability to pay, location of residence or complexity of health
issues.
Our programs span a lifetime – from prenatal care to
care for young families to rehabilitation, long term care, and end-of-life care.
Franklin County Home Health Agency has kept pace
with the latest healthcare trends and technologies. In the face of shrinking
reimbursements, we continue to identify community needs and provide essential
cost-effective healthcare services to some of our most vulnerable citizens.
