Advantage Home Health Services Opens Hollidaysburg Office

PITTSBURGH, PA – August 10, 2010 – Advantage Home Health Services, an innovative and trusted provider of home-based health care services, has opened an office in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania to serve patients located throughout the Central Pennsylvania region. The new office is open and delivering a wide-range of home health services, such as skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and remote health monitoring. In addition to skilled nurses and therapists, the Advantage Home Health Services team of health care professionals includes medical social workers, registered dieticians, home health aides and geriatric care managers.

“Our motto is the only home we want to see you in is your own,” said Amy Hancock, president and founder of Advantage Home Health Services. “Whether a client is managing a chronic health condition, recovering from an injury or undergoing medical treatment for an illness such as cancer, we understand that they want to keep as independent of a lifestyle as possible while receiving the care they need. Our goal is to help our patients achieve their best health possible, while surrounded by the comforts of home, family and friends. We are proud to bring our proven and innovative care services to the homes of patients in Central Pennsylvania – helping them to stay healthy and at home.”

Advantage Home Health Services provides traditional and innovative geriatric health care services. In addition to its regular home visits, the company offers a remote health monitoring service, Advantage HealthCheck℠, which tracks patients’ vitals on a daily basis to detect early warning signs of health problems in order to provide patients the treatment they need when they need it. It also provides peace of mind to patients and their loved ones, as they know that a trained health care professional is reviewing the patient’s health information on a daily basis.

Advantage Home Health Services also offers the Advantage Care Coach℠ Service to help patients and families coordinate the different aspects of ongoing care. The Advantage Care Coach can help to coordinate health care services and referrals, assists with medication management and appointment scheduling, arrange transportation for appointments, facilitate accurate and effective communication between the patient’s doctors, family members and other service providers, and can connect the patient with needed and available social support services.
