Home Nursing Agency has been the premier provider of in-home and community services for more than 36 years. Home Nursing Agency is a non-profit organization and provides charitable care in the Huntingdon area.
The home nursing agency provides their services to individuals of all ages. From newborns, to senior citizens, they aid those who need home as well as hospice care. Their main purpose is to provide the care and quality that is expected of the agency. They are hoping to provide care regardless of the individual’s financial ability to pay. They wish to continue to develop new programs that may help the community.
The Home Nursing Agency gets their message across in several ways. They utilize free media, health fairs, personal staff, newspapers, and more. They can also be recommended by social services, hospitals, and physicians.
The agency uses United Way funding to help those patients which are underinsured, or who simply do not have the available funds to pay for the services themselves. Without the aid of the United Way, several patients would experience a huge loss.
