If you ask the 20-member staff at Home Care Solutions in Ooltewah, they’ll tell you how important home health service is, how the people — the patients — are the reward.
They say it’s a dedicated team effort to provide post-acute care to home-bound patients so that those patients don’t have to return to the hospital.
And that Home Care Solutions’ 10 percent rate of patients needing to go back to the hospital is the proof in the pudding.
But also, it’s great to have one of their own, physical therapist Brent Ashley, highlighted by their parent company, LHC Group.
Ashley recently won LHC Group’s “Therapist of the Year” award over a field of more than 1,000 physical therapists in the company.
