Our Home Health is a community-based home health agency in Akron, Ohio, at 520 South Main Street. The agency says it is dedicated to delivering compassionate, quality home health care for people in the Akron area who want to keep living independently in their own homes. Its care is aimed at adults and older people dealing with the physical and emotional effects of aging, memory-related ailments such as dementia and Alzheimer's, illness, or injury, with a focus on safety, comfort, dignity, and well-being.
The core service is personal care in the home. Fully screened and certified personal care attendants and Home Health Aides help with hygiene and grooming, bathing visits, dressing, feeding, toileting, and oral and personal hygiene. They also help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and getting around the home safely. The personal care list includes respite care for family caregivers, personal safety home evaluations to help prevent accidents, help before and after outpatient procedures, and special experience with memory loss, confusion, and forgetfulness. Attendants report changes in a client's condition to the supervisory registered nurse and/or physician. The agency says its attendants are available to assist with any personal care needs a client may have, from hygiene care to personal safety home evaluations meant to prevent unnecessary accidents, and that it works to send a compassionate, knowledgeable care professional who gives clients more convenience, more security, and more hope. The home page also describes help ranging from household chores to 24/7 or live-in care.
Payment and eligibility are stated plainly on the site. As of March 1, 2022, Our Home Health says it only provides services to individuals approved through Medicaid, the PASSPORT Waiver, or the MyCare Ohio Waiver, naming UnitedHealthcare and CareSource. The agency's Private Duty services — where nurses assessed care needs and nursing assistants provided personal care, household chores, respite, and companion services — were put on hold as of March 1, 2022, according to the same notice.
Families can reach the agency at 330-283-3998. The site invites people to call and say how they can help, promising a compassionate, knowledgeable care professional focused on convenience, security, and peace of mind for the whole family.
