Homecare Nurses: The Heart of Homecare

During May, Homecare recognizes the nurses who founded Homecare 35 years ago. Their commitment to providing premier pediatric care from inpatient to home created the need for increased pediatric home health care for patients in central Ohio. To answer patient needs, Homecare began adding services that expanded the volume and type of care the team could provide. During the past three decades, Homecare has continued to grow alongside the hospital to support the community, allowing children to go home to continue or complete needed medical treatments – from life-saving infusions to enteral feeds to a variety of therapy services in their homes.

Homecare nurses provide care to children in 16 counties. In 2024, Homecare’s intermittent skilled nurses expanded their services to seven additional counties: three in the Toledo region (Lucas, Wood and Hancock) and four in the central Ohio region (Knox, Muskingum, Perry and Hocking). The Homecare team appreciates and celebrates their nurses, who continue to give their best every day for patients.
