The emergence of new medical treatments and technologies has made home health a viable, cost-effective option for people recovering from illness, disease, injury or surgery. Howard Memorial Hospital offers home health services through our partner, Southwest Arkansas Homecare, a member of LHC Group. With this service, families can keep medical costs down, and HMH can support the healing process by allowing patients to recover in the comfort of their home. Ask your doctor about home health, or contact Elite Homecare at 870-845-8206 or toll free 1-800-465-5663. 

You may benefit from home health if you are:

• Recovering from medical conditions including—but not limited to—heart failure, hypertension, pulmonary disease such as COPD and diabetes.
• In need of physical, occupational or speech therapy services. Services include a home safety and fall risk assessment, assistance with activities of daily living (i.e. dressing, bathing, grooming) and/or speech evaluation.
• Recently released from a hospital, rehabilitation hospital or nursing home and require assistance with wound care, medication management or other skilled nursing service.
