Summa’s HomeCare is committed to providing the highest quality, compassionate care to our patients in their home. Studies show that there is no place like home when recuperating from an illness or injury. Sometimes just having the loving attention of family members is enough to help speed recovery. But it is the relief and security of being at home and returning to your everyday lifestyle that is often instrumental in feeling better.
Our services promote recovery in comfortable and familiar surrounds and offer a cost effective alternative to lengthy hospital stays.

· Observation, evaluation and self-care instruction;
