There is truly no place like home, especially if you are recovering from an illness. As an alternative to remaining in the hospital, you can recuperate in the comfortable surroundings of your own home.
Blue Mountain Home Health Care makes house calls to meet the health care needs of homebound clients in Carbon, eastern Schuylkill, western Monroe, and upper Lehigh and Northampton counties.
Home health care is a medical and personal service provided to eligible patients in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of their own homes. To determine your eligibility, a member of the agency's professional staff will schedule an initial evaluation visit and consult your physician to review your health care needs. Service is provided without regard to race, color, national origin, ancestry, age, gender or religion.

* are under the regular care of a physician and the physician orders treatment;

* Ostomy care and education
