In Home Services of Central PA IN HOME SERVICES OF CENTRAL PA has an abundance of OUTSTANDING CAREGIVERS to help clients in Centre County 24/7. We regretfully do not serve the Philipsburg / Clearfield area. We do not participate in the Medicaid program in Centre County due to poor State funding which I have aggressively fought to improve. When we say Yes to a new client, we mean Yes, and we can staff based on a client's wants. We are not an Agency that says yes and then struggles to meet the new client's needs. We were : SELECTED AS A 2023 TOP HOME HEALTHCARE AGENCY AND ALSO GOT THIS RECOGNITION IN 2022 AND IN 2021. THE PA BUSINESS CENTRAL JUST NAMED US ONE OF THEIR TOP 100 ORGANIZATIONS. OUR CURRENT CLIENT SATISFACTION SCORE IS 99%.
We have a 4-hour minimum shift requirement in order to give our Caregivers the hours they want which is why we have a dynamic team of Caregivers in place. WE CARE about our Clients and our Team Members. Please call us at 814-321-2145 or 717-363-4913. |
