Home Skilled Nursing Care
Some services can only be provided by a licensed nurse. You may require skilled nursing care if you have an acute medical condition or require comprehensive rehabilitation.
Ohioans Home Healthcare and Hospice can provide hands-on care in the comfort of your home. That allows you to recover from illness, injury or surgery in a familiar setting with a friendly nurse and a care plan created just for you.
Our team of skilled nurses and aides is trained to deliver consistent care with a personal touch and strive to become a trusted member of your inner circle.
Our Skilled Nursing Services
Nutrition Counseling
A balanced diet is essential, especially if you live with a chronic health condition. Eating the right foods provides your body with the nutrients it needs to stay strong. Our nutrition counseling services are provided by a registered dietician who will assess your dietary restrictions and create an appropriate meal plan.
Cardiac Care
Living with heart disease or recovering from heart surgery requires regular assessment and care. Your nurse or therapist will work closely with you to address the physical and mental effects of your cardiac condition. Our in-home cardiac services include rehabilitation, education, counseling and physical activity.
Medication Management
Taking your medication as prescribed optimizes its effectiveness. Our medication management includes education on side effects, administration and monitoring. Those services can help relieve the pressure of juggling multiple medications and to ensure you don’t miss a dose.
Respiratory Assessment
In-home respiratory care helps you breathe comfortably and maintain your quality of life. We offer thorough respiratory assessments to determine what type of therapy and equipment you need to optimize your breathing.
Disease Education
Learning about your medical condition or disease can help you understand how to live with it comfortably. Rely on the expertise of our clinical staff to provide you and your loved ones with information about symptoms, treatment, rehabilitation and disease progression. They’re also available to answer questions and discuss community resources.

We specialize in working with children to provide care in a relaxed and friendly manner. Our services include wound care, pain management, IV therapy, chemotherapy and parenteral nutrition.
