Heritage Home Health, part of the HCF family, has provided in-home care for over 50 years, combining a personal, family-like approach with the medical treatments and services patients require. The organization emphasizes Total Quality Management and individually matched caregiving teams, with a goal of helping patients recover safely and maintain independence at home rather than in a facility setting.
Heritage Home Health offers a wide range of licensed therapy services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, each tailored to an individualized care plan. Physical therapy focuses on restoring strength, balance, and mobility through therapeutic exercise, pain management, and home safety assessments. Occupational therapy helps patients manage day-to-day activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and personal business, while also supporting cognitive skills like memory and executive functioning. Speech therapy addresses communication challenges as well as swallowing and eating difficulties, including those related to memory loss or dementia. Additional home therapy programs include fall prevention, strengthening and range-of-motion exercises, balance training, gait training, transfer training, and assessments for assistive devices and durable medical equipment.
Beyond therapy, Heritage Home Health offers specialty care programs for a range of chronic and complex conditions. These include cardiac care for heart failure and related conditions, diabetes management, orthopedic rehabilitation following joint replacement or fracture surgery, and comprehensive wound care for surgical, traumatic, and chronic wounds. The organization also provides neurological care for conditions such as stroke recovery, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, along with respiratory care for COPD, pneumonia, and related pulmonary conditions. Additional services include medication management, anticoagulant education, IV therapy, and specialized infusion and feeding support.
Heritage Home Health also offers a dedicated memory care program, called Purpose Living Memory Care, designed to bring research-based dementia and Alzheimer's care into the home. This includes cognitive and fall-risk testing, caregiver training and counseling, medication reminders, nutrition consultation, and brain stimulation activities delivered by a multidisciplinary team of nurses, therapists, social workers, and personal care attendants. Patients in this program have shown improvements including reduced depression, better sleep, increased independence, and improved mood and cognitive function.
Heritage Home Health is well suited to individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or chronic conditions, as well as families seeking specialized memory care, who want comprehensive medical and therapeutic support delivered in the comfort of home.
