Our Caregivers

UPMC Home Healthcare and Family Hospice employs home health experts that live and work in their local community. Our care team includes specialized nurses, highly skilled rehabilitation therapists (physical, occupational and speech), social workers, dietitians, home health aides, and trained administrative staff. Our goal is to provide each patient with personalized care in their home while ensuring the best possible experience.

Specialized Nursing Services

Our specialized nurses teach you about your condition and how to follow a self-care plan. They help you with medication and symptom management. These nurses have advanced training in one or more specialties such as:

Rehabilitation

If you need rehabilitation after an illness, injury or accident, our physical, occupational and speech therapists are highly trained and will work with you to help you on the road to recovery.

Wound Care

To heal wounds as quickly and painlessly as possible, our specialty-trained nurses work with the most current techniques and wound care products available. They will teach you how to comfortably follow a self-care plan to hasten your healing.

Nutrition Support

Our unique nutrition service lets you consult a nutrition specialist at your home or on the phone. Registered dieticians can assess and advise you about specific needs related to your health condition, such as diabetes, heart disease or obesity.

Medical Social Workers

Our medical social workers know how to connect you and your family to the right services and resources in the community, whether you need a support group, an assisted living facility or financial aid.

Home Health Aides

During recovery, it may be difficult or impossible to perform daily personal care. Our home health aides can help you with dressing, bathing, and other tasks. All have successfully completed a certified nursing assistant program.
