Avera@Home - Home Health

Home health care through Avera@Home of Spencer Hospital provides professional health care services to patients and their families in familiar and comforting home surroundings. In addition to providing direct care, home health teaches families how to care for a loved one as well as self-care tips the individual can perform.

Home health improves the patient’s quality of life while offering peace of mind to the family by:

Helping the patient recover and return to regular activities of daily living
Providing continuity of care from hospital to home
Working with other community agencies to provide other services needed in the home
Keeping the patient safe and in his or her home

I was treated with courtesy and kindness I enjoyed the friendship and care I received from everyone.
