At HSP-HC the patient is our paramount concern.

Our highly skilled, multilingual staffs are duly qualified professionals. We offer seven (7) days per week, twenty four (24) hours on-call service with an active list of employees.

 

Creating a warm, caring environment is an essential ingredient in the expedient recovery of our patients. Our staff understands an important facet of the agency - philosophy is to teach another caregiver or the patient to perform the tasks that agency staff is performing so that the agency can decrease and eventually cease service. We are committed to preserving the patient in the home and including the entire family in the patient's therapy by way of educating family members in the nature of the patient's illness and specific needs.
