Home Care Programs
Clinical Focus for Complex Conditions
Managing a chronic illness requires expertise, consistency, and a proactive approach. HCR Home Care’s Clinical Programs are designed by clinical leaders to provide disease-specific management right where you live. These programs go beyond standard skilled nursing to offer targeted education, focused monitoring, and interventions proven to reduce symptoms, prevent complications, and significantly lower the risk of hospital readmissions.
​
If you or a loved one are living with a complex, high-acuity condition, our specialized teams provide the focused care and confidence you need. We empower you to take control of your health with evidence-based chronic disease management at home.
The Necessity of Specialized Disease-Specific Care
Chronic conditions like heart failure, diabetes, and COPD are the leading causes of preventable hospitalizations. Generic home health support is often insufficient to manage the subtle, escalating symptoms of these complex illnesses. Our disease-specific care model addresses this challenge by providing highly focused protocols, education, and dedicated clinicians who are experts in their specific fields.
This specialized approach allows us to:
-
Catch Warning Signs Early: Clinicians trained in a specific disease (e.g., Cardiac Care) know exactly what symptoms to monitor, enabling early intervention before a health crisis develops.
-
Provide Targeted Education: We deliver highly relevant, easy-to-understand information about medications, diet, and lifestyle adjustments specific to your condition.
-
Coordinate Across Disciplines: These programs ensure seamless collaboration between your specialist, your primary care physician, and our in-home nurses and therapists.

Focus: Healing & Infection Prevention. Highly skilled care for complex, non-healing wounds, post-surgical sites, and ostomy management, utilizing advanced dressings and clinical techniques.
Focus: Comfort & Functionality. Personalized strategies utilizing non-pharmacological methods, medication oversight, and therapeutic interventions to control chronic or acute pain and improve quality of life.
Focus: Safety & Risk Reduction. A multidisciplinary assessment involving nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy to identify and modify environmental and physical factors leading to falls.
Parkinson’s Disease Management
Focus: Motor & Cognitive Function. Specialized nursing and therapy protocols designed to manage mobility challenges, gait stability, medication timing, and communication issues specific to Parkinson's disease.
Maximizing Outcomes Through Specialized Training
Our commitment to high-acuity home care means that the nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists assigned to these programs have specific training credentials and experience in treating the associated illnesses. This dedicated expertise translates directly into superior patient outcomes.
For example, an HCR nurse working on the Cardiac Care program understands the nuances of titrating diuretics and recognizing early signs of fluid overload in ways a non-specialized clinician may miss. This level of clinical precision is what makes our specialized programs the preferred choice for physicians and patients managing serious conditions.
