In-Home Services

In-Home Services

In an era of cost containment many hospitalized patients are discharged before they are able to fully care for themselves. This is an area where the Harper County Health Department in-home services can provide care to promote safety and recovery or maintenance of independent functioning. It is a proven fact that in-home care is less expensive than institutional care.

In-home services provide assistance to individuals recovering from illness, injury, and surgery or to individuals with long term care needs. In-home services included non-skilled services including: housekeeping, laundry, bathing, grooming, shopping, errands, meal preparation and limited respite care.

Current in-home services are offered through the HCBS Waiver Services, Senior Care Act Services, Older Americans Act Title IIIB and Private Pay Services. If you need in-home services, or know of someone who could benefit from these services, please contact the Harper County Health Department for additional information at 620-842-5132 and ask for Heather Struble.

The Harper County Health Department is not accepting new referrals for the HCBS Waiver services effective January 1, 2019.
