1 Home. Health. Care. Driven by a Commitment to Enhance Quality of Life

2 Our Mission Elite Home Services is committed to providing world class, highly personalized and compassionate home health care services to those in need. We provide high quality, proactive and thoughtful home health care services to our patients, reflecting a deep commitment to promoting dignity and an easier everyday living for all. Our teams are guided by a standard of service based on these core values: COMPASSION RESPECT Our teams are dedicated to providing care that focuses on restoring health, reducing hospitalizations and maximizing independence. We look forward to being your partner and exceeding your expectations. INTEGRITY COMMITMENT QUALITY

3 WHO WE ARE Elite Home Services recognizes the challenges of aging and the many obstacles it can present to remaining at home. Our healthcare professionals are skilled at guiding and supporting our patients past these obstacles, paving a path for them to live happy, safe and independent lives within their own homes. Our dedicated team of home health aides are carefully screened and selected for their passion, clinical abilities, attitudes and skill in providing patient care. Elite Home Service aides are experienced and highly trained. All staff members are insured and have passed a rigorous screening process, including background and reference checks. Above all, our staff is professional, committed to excellence and dependable. Because there is no place like home! There are many things that make a home special, but it s the comfort and confidence our patients have in living there that matters the most. That is why our home health aides provide assistance with managing the living activities that our patients no longer find easy, so they may continue to live in their own homes in a safe and comfortable way.

4 WHAT WE DO Elite Home Services personnel perform a range of services to support daily living activities based on each patient s individual needs. We are able to provide the following services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: Home Health Aides Personal Care Skilled Nursing Wound and Burn Care OT/PT/Speech Therapies Nutritional Counseling Medical Social Work Personal Care and COMPANIONSHIP services Mobility assistance Transferring and positioning Bathing, grooming and hygiene Toileting and laundry Meal preparation and feeding Attending to disabilities, chronic illness and/or therapies Socialization and support Medication coordination Errands and grocery shopping Light housekeeping Escorts on walks REFERRAL PARTNERS Elite Home Services works with all referral sources, including hospital discharge planners, social workers, family members, physicians, insurance companies and HMOs. CONTACT US If you or a loved one is in need of home health care services, call us to discuss your options. We can perform a home care assessment in-home, over the phone or at a hospital or care facility. Our intake associates look forward to working with you to find solutions for your home health care needs.

5 WHY CHOOSE ELITE BECAUSE WE CARE As licensed providers of home health services, delivering high-quality, compassionate care that enables our patients to maintain a home-based lifestyle is the guiding principle for every Elite Home Services professional. Our home health aides embody the culture of caring that drives our organization. Elite Home Services aides are passionate about what they do and provide the care you need -- in a comforting and compassionate way, and in the home that you love. Our team focuses on you, with homecare services tailored on a case-by-case basis to meet your unique care goals and needs. Because We Do It Right While many agencies offer similar services, not all agencies execute on the same guiding principles. Elite Home Services has developed a personalized approach to home care that raises the bar for the industry. Going beyond merely standard home health care training, all Elite Home Services caregivers undergo patient-specific training by skilled clinicians to attend to the unique care needs of each patient based on specific clinical diagnosis and conditions. This high level of specialized training helps Elite caregivers detect and address early warning signs and symptoms of illness that others may miss. Our personalized approach is further enhanced by encouraging home aides to report any irregularity to the appropriate clinicians and care managers. This proactive approach of Elite Home Services helps to reduce hospitalizations, thereby enhancing and maintaining the patient s quality of life.
