Chronic Care Management
Managing chronic conditions at home can be a challenge for many patients. If not properly controlled, patients with chronic conditions such as Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) or COPD may make repeated trips to the emergency department or have several avoidable hospital readmissions.
By combining our skilled nursing and therapy with home monitoring and education, patients can take better control of their health and safely maintain their independence at home.
Resources for chronic care management include:

Joint Replacement
Our Joint Replacement Care program is designed to help patients safely recover and rehabilitate in the comfort of their own home following total hip or knee replacement surgery.
We work closely with hospital case managers and physicians to arrange home health care services that will be needed after you leave the hospital. This includes home health nursing and physical therapy. If ordered by the physician, Henry Ford Home Health Care may also provide occupational therapy, home health aide services, medical social work or nutrition consultation.
Private duty services may be arranged through Henry Ford Extended Care for patients who need extended care for longer period of time on a private pay basis.
