Windber Home Health

Windber Home Health is a home health care agency serving Windber, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas in Somerset, Cambria, and parts of Bedford County. The agency provides intermittent, part-time skilled nursing and support services to homebound patients recovering from illness, surgery, or managing chronic disease.

Care is delivered by Registered Nurses, Certified Nurses Aides, and Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists who work to help patients function as independently as possible in their own homes. Services are coordinated with patients' physicians and complement care offered through WindberCare Physicians and family physicians in the Johnstown area. An individualized plan of care is developed for each patient in partnership with family members and caregivers.

To qualify for services, patients must be homebound, under the care of a licensed physician, and have a skilled nursing need or require rehabilitation services. The physician must certify the need for home care, and patients are considered homebound if they are absent from home infrequently for short durations or to receive medical attention.

Most home care services are covered by insurance, with co-pays or deductibles potentially applying. For uninsured patients, other financial arrangements are available. Windber Home Health Agency is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
