Find out all the ways SC House Calls can service you and your family
As a Nurse Practitioner, I can attest to countless success stories. The rehab department offers patients with new deficits or debilities a safe transition from hospital stay back to their homes. Therapy and nursing work together to help maximize patients' abilities, improve their strength and coordination, and educate them on new disease processes. I am grateful to be part of this team.
SC House calls provide an extended period of time to be spent with the patient reviewing all their health care needs and this subsequently turns into better patient outcomes. House calls also allows for very close patient follow up especially when being discharged from a healthcare facility. The ability to be seen by a provider multiple times in a week really improves the patient’s overall outcomes and decreases readmission rates to the hospital.
This setting [Assisted Living] allows me to not only provide medical care but embrace my patients as if they were my family, especially since COVID! My patients in this setting are like family to me. Many thrive off the attention they get from the bi-weekly or monthly visits. I have several patients who will stop by to see me weekly just to say hi and see pictures of my family. Again, such a rewarding position to fill and population to serve. Not only to meet their medical needs but also provide an extra emotional support that is very much needed at this time!
Working in Assisted Living enables me to sit with patients and hear their life stories and hold their hand when they are scared. I strive to not only meet their physical needs, but also their mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. To put a smile on their face because they are not just a diagnosis to you, but someone’s mother, father, grandmother, or grandfather.
I have been able to help so many patients and families who would otherwise not have access to quality medical care. Many of my patients do not have transportation, mobility, care givers, or funds for transportation to get out to a traditional doctor’s office for care. I was able to help a patient get set-up with home health and a local mail order pharmacy who was able to deliver the correct medications. I cannot help but think what would have happened to her if she had not been referred our services.
The patient portal messaging has allowed me to be able to keep close contact with patients who need close follow up or even patients who just have a question about their health. They receive a timely response and scheduled promptly if a visit is needed. This option really gives patients a peace of mind knowing that they have a lifeline if needed.
While most of my background comes from working in home health, I had a wonderful opportunity to join the SC House Calls team almost two years ago. When this position presented before me, to be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My joy comes from caring for my patients, and the trust that develops with that relationship. While every patient has a unique story, I have found that I have been able to provide a patient-centered, safe, efficient and effective care right in the place you feel most comfortable.
Being open on the weekends it helps provide personalized care to our established patients when there are minor emergencies or when patients are unable to escape their daily responsibilities during the week. I have patients that I only see on weekends as this is their only available time to be seen and being able to provide preventative services to these patients keep them healthy and decrease the likelihood of having to seek emergency treatment.

In addition, the care that we provide at SC House Calls is delivered to you, whether it be at home or in a facility. With that being said, I don’t think there is another company that can offer & deliver this type of care. Whatever your needs are, we come to you! During these trying times, I can’t think of a better company that can personally deliver high quality healthcare, other than that of SC House Calls.
