Professional Nursing Services, Inc.

Yes, all of our staff is licensed, and are provided with on-going training so they stay abreast of the constantly changing environment of home health care.

As a State of Michigan approved and (CHAP) accredited home health care company, we are required to include fingerprinting on all staff entering any of our clients’ homes. We also have a thorough interview process in which we stress that no improper activities or non-professional behavior will be tolerated.

Most insurance plans that we accept will cover the services that are approved and required by your physician. No money is ever exchanged or handled by our staff.

Our staff schedules visits around your schedule. For example, if you prefer to exercise in the morning, our therapists can schedule a morning appointment for you.

Yes, however, Medicare and most health insurance companies will not pay for it. That would be considered “private duty services” and would result in an out-of-pocket fee.

It depends upon your health condition, your progress and reaction to treatment, and your Physician’s recommendation. Unless there are very significant health issues and/or your Physician has continual concerns, most home health care services can be concluded in 60 – 90 days.

Absolutely, it is entirely up to you – the patient. The hospital is obligated by law to give you a list of home care agencies from which you can choose. If you have an agency in mind, inform the Discharge Planner/Care Manager. However, if you have no experience with home health care, it would be prudent to consider the agency recommended by your trusted physician. Furthermore, if you are not satisfied with those services, you always have the option to change agencies.

Home care services must be initiated by a licensed physician. Your plan of care is primarily based on the results of your most recent visit with your doctor. Your doctor and the Agency will then work together to formulate a plan to improve your health condition.
