Home Health & Hospice Care is a non-profit Visiting Nurse Association serving patients of all ages and all circumstances in southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. Since 1883, HHHC has kept pace with changes in medical practice, while continually providing the compassionate care and support that is critical to families in their times of need.
In the 21st century, one timeless fact remains: Most people, if given the choice, would prefer to receive medical care in the comfort of their own homes.
- Sometimes people need a helping hand as they recover from an illness or injury.
- Or, special services may be required for a loved one suffering from a chronic or terminal illness to manage pain, ensure comfort, and maintain quality of life.
- Or, perhaps in order to remain at home, a person needs assistance with the formerly simple acts of daily life, such as cleaning, light housekeeping, or bathing.
We can help. Our professional staff of caregivers will meet your unique needs in the comfort of your own home, with the skill, compassion, and dedication you expect and deserve.
Among the programs offered by HHHC are:
- Home Care: Visiting nurses, physical, speech, and occupational therapists, IV therapists, and licensed nursing assistants who provide home care for patients recovering from illness and hospitalization.
- Hospice: Nurses, social workers, licensed nursing assistants, spiritual care providers, and volunteers who care for patients who are dying and their families. Pain management and supportive care are integral components of the hospice program, which enables patients to die at home.
- Community Hospice House: A ten-bedroom home that serves patients who do not have a primary caregiver at home or who require medical services that cannot be provided in a home setting.
- Child Health: Child health maintenance, immunizations, and nutritional counseling. Also, a weekly Well Child Clinic at which children between the ages of 0-18 can receive free physical examinations; immunizations; physical exams; hearing, vision and speech screenings; and lead paint screening.
- Homemaking: A service designed for low-income elderly and disabled people, it is intended to give clients enough homemaking help and support to enable them to stay independent in their own homes.
- Grief Support Groups: Programs for all age groups, from preschoolers to adults, to help them cope with the death of a loved one.
- Also, free or low-cost clinics for adults, including blood pressure and diabetes screening, flu shots, and foot clinics.
