Exclusions:

Visiting Nurse Service is similar to Home Health and Hospice but we do not offer in home physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy or a home health aide. We also do not provide medications, all medications must be ordered by your provider and picked up from your preferred pharmacy. Medical supplies such as hygiene products are also not included but the Visiting Nurse Service can however help with resources.
