 Okmulgee Memorial Hospital’s Home Health department provides in-home care to patients who have difficulties leaving their homes to seek regular treatment at a health care facility. Home health employs a full-time team of highly skilled nurses and support staff who attend to all the homebound patients in the department’s care. The OMH Home Health department has been providing in-home care to patients for 25 years.
Home health provides patients with skilled nursing through qualified professionals, who observe, teach, train and assist patients. Our professionals also provide skilled procedures, and physical, occupational and speech therapy. While in the care of the home health department, a patient will receive regular visits from a qualified nurse who will assess and treat them for various illnesses and injury. A home health nurse observes patients for various signs and symptoms, such as fluctuating vital signs or changes in weight, breathing or circulation. Home health also provides patient care training. For example, home health provides training in wound care, diabetic care, bladder/bowel training and medicine regimen to patients.
