Our Mission
To provide comprehensive, compassionate care, delivered with dignity and respect, in a safe home environment, utilizing all available resources in a cost-efficient manner.
Our Services
Skilled clinical care, at home
We are a Medicare-certified home health agency. Our clinicians bring hospital-level skills into the home, so recovery can happen where people are most comfortable.
Advanced wound care
Expert management of complex wounds, including negative-pressure wound therapy, to promote healing and prevent complications.
IV therapy & nutrition support
Care for patients receiving intravenous therapies — TPN, antibiotics, cardiotonic therapy — and safe support for enteral nutrition at home.
Physical therapy
Rehabilitation with deep experience in joint-replacement recovery, helping patients regain mobility, strength, and confidence.
How we work
Nurse-owned. Nurse-led.
Primary HomeCare Specialties is owned and operated by nurses, and it shows in how care is organized. Our model is built on continuity and accountability, so every patient knows exactly who is responsible for their care.
- Every admission starts with our Nurse Director. She personally conducts each initial assessment and oversees the admission, working alongside the assigned nurse or therapist.
- One clinician, start to finish. Each clinician manages their own caseload, so patients see the same familiar face throughout their care rather than a rotating cast.
- A coordinated team behind them. Nursing, therapy, and the Clinical Director work as one team, keeping care seamless and tailored to each person's needs.

Our Care
What you can expect from us
Every word of our mission is a promise. Here is what each one means in practice.
Compassionate
Care that starts with kindness. Our caregivers take the time to know each person — their routines, preferences, and what makes them feel at ease.
Comprehensive
Nursing, wound care, IV therapy, and rehabilitation under one roof — we coordinate the full picture of care so families never have to piece it together alone.
Dignity & Respect
Every person we serve is treated as the expert on their own life. We listen first, and we honor choices, privacy, and independence.
A Safe Home
Home is where healing happens best. We help keep it safe, calm, and familiar — so care never means giving up comfort.
Every Resource
We bring all available resources to bear — clinical expertise, community programs, and family support — to serve each person fully.
Cost-Efficient
Excellent care shouldn't be wasteful. We plan thoughtfully so families get the most from every hour and every dollar.
