About Duke Home Health
Duke Home Health provides health
services for adults and children in their
homes. With today’s shorter hospital
stays, many patients benefit from the
services of home health care, which may
include nursing services, rehabilitation
services, social work, or home health aide
services. Under the direct supervision of
a physician, an individualized plan of care
is developed for each patient.
Duke HomeCare & Hospice is
accredited by the Joint Commission.
This accreditation is given only to
organizations that have demonstrated
that they meet the highest standards in
their field.
