For many acute or chronically ill patients, the idea of having a medical professional dedicated to their care provides them and their families with both independence and valuable peace of mind. That’s why more physicians and families are turning to LHC Group’s Private Duty services.

Private Duty Care – What is it?

LHC Group’s Private Duty Program is an affordable and personalized care option that offers a wide range of services to patients at home or in a medical facility. The type of services utilized depends on each patient’s specific needs. We work with patients and their families to customize services based on their needs. In many cases, these services may be covered by insurance, Medicaid or Department of Veterans Affairs medical benefits, minimizing the financial impact on the family.

Why Should You Choose Private Duty Services?

Remaining independent, living at home and enjoying a good quality of life are all important. Though sometimes it takes support from a trained outside source to help families achieve these objectives.

Every individual’s needs are different. Some patients require on-going care, others need assistance for only a few hours each week. At LHC Group, we work with each patient and family to customize the right level of private duty care based on the patient’s specific needs.

With private duty care, an important issue for both patients and their families is that the people they enlist to help are qualified and trustworthy. At LHC Group, our private duty caregivers are thoroughly screened, committed, compassionate and carefully selected.
