Home Health
We get it: There’s no place like home. That’s why it can be so difficult when the time comes to contemplate how best to provide care for our loved ones who can’t quite manage on their own.
At St. Tammany Health System, we strive to make that decision a little easier with our team of Home Health caregivers, all of whom are skilled, highly trained and, above all, compassionate.
On top of all that, they provide that care conveniently in the comfort of our patients’ owns homes.
St. Tammany Health System Director of Home Health Kelly Rogers, RN, BSN, WTA-C, CHHCM, speaks with “Healthy Living” host Amy Bouton about the health system's Home Health services and all that entails, including in-home nursing visits, therapy, social work and more.
Skilled nursing offers a variety of services including IV therapy, wound care therapy, post-operative care, remote patient monitoring for chronic conditions with nurse oversight daily, lymphedema therapy, and Big/Loud program for Parkinson’s patients provided on an intermittent basis for prescribed medical treatment, supportive care, patient and primary caregiver teaching.
Board-certified social workers aid patients and families with financial assistance, community services and/or long-term care placement. They help patients adjust to changes resulting from illness or injury.
The nurse teaches the patient and family special diet instructions in the home and follows up with the patient to discuss how the diet is going.
A licensed therapist designs and provides rehabilitative services for each individual patient in the home. Specialized therapeutic exercises help patients meet their maximum rehabilitative potential.

Home Health, Hospice and Palliative care aren’t the same, but the differences can be nuanced. Here’s a brief primer:
There’s really no substitute for the comfort of home. With that in mind, our team of trained professionals provide the care your loved one needs – including nursing, rehabilitation therapy and more – while allowing them to continue to enjoy familiar surroundings.
Our palliative care program is devoted to the improvement of quality of life for people living with a chronic serious illness by addressing the many stressors that can accompany such illness, including symptom management, difficulty coping and documentation of healthcare wishes.
The St. Tammany Health System Hospice program provides supportive care to terminally ill patients and their families in the home through an interdisciplinary team that addresses physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs.
