Ozarks Healthcare Partners with Community Care Providers to Ensure Seamless Transition of Care
Ozarks Healthcare is excited to announce a collaborative effort with Assist America Home Services, Gentiva and all other organizations who provide community care across its seven-county service area in Missouri. This initiative is aimed at providing comprehensive support, including housekeeping, grocery shopping, and personal care services, for patients in Douglas, Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Shannon, Texas, and Wright Counties.
“Ozarks Healthcare At Home values our role in our community and is devoted to ensuring that our patients continue to receive the care and support they deserve,” Holly Isom, Director of Ozarks Healthcare At Home, said. “This collaboration with other community care providers exemplifies our commitment to the wellbeing of our community and our dedication to delivering high-quality care.”
With a strong focus on patient wellbeing, Ozarks Healthcare At Home is dedicated to ensuring that patients continue to receive the care they need during this transition period. The process to secure a new in-home provider is simple, and patients are encouraged to take the following steps:
- Contact Missouri Division of Senior and Disability Services: Patients can promptly reach out to the Missouri Division of Senior and Disability Services at 1-417-895-6455 to request a new in-home provider.
- Seamless Transition: Within the next 30 days, a member of the Ozarks Healthcare Care Team will reach out to patients to ensure a seamless transition of care. The goal is to match patients with the right provider that suits their specific needs.
- Continued Ozarks Healthcare At Home Support: Ozarks Healthcare At Home remains dedicated to providing community care services and will be available through October 31, 2023. During this time, patients have the opportunity to arrange for another in-home provider, and the OZH Care Team is prepared to discuss cases with Division of Aging case workers to facilitate the transition of care.
“We are excited to work with Ozarks Healthcare in this endeavor to ensure continuity of care for our community,” Rebecca Brown, Assist America Home Services, said. “This collaboration shows our shared commitment to patients’ wellbeing and our dedication to delivering exceptional care.”
Ozarks Healthcare At Home is committed to facilitating a smooth transition of care for its patients and assisting community care employees in finding employment opportunities within the organizations. Ozarks Healthcare At Home will continue to provide Home Health and Hospice Services.
