Why our home health is different
Our home health segment leads the industry in lowering hospital readmissions.
We’re in this together
Skilled nurses
Our nurses deliver specialized care related to each patient’s specific injury or illness.
Physical therapists
Our physical therapists help patients increase their physical function, mobility, strength, balance and safety by designing specialized testing and exercises.
Occupational therapists
Our occupational therapists design activity-based therapy to promote a patient’s independence in self-care, home management and work skills.
Speech-language pathologists
Our speech-language pathologists help patients address speech and voice functions, swallowing, memory and cognition, and language and communication.
Medical social workers
Our medical social workers provide an assessment of social and emotional factors and also assist with obtaining needed community resources.
Home health aides
Our home health aides provide personal care to patients through assistance with activities of daily living when skilled services are provided.
A different level of transparency
We believe that access to patient information is critical to delivering high-quality home care. Encompass Health Connection, our secure, web-based portal, allows physicians and clinical care teams to review every step of a patient’s care. This detailed system creates visibility into patient diagnoses, orders, medications and overall progress.
The Encompass Health way
Set the standard
We are committed to going above and beyond, never settling for anything less than excellence. We pride ourselves on being industry leaders and challenge ourselves to continuously improve.
Lead with empathy
We start with empathy, taking the time to understand the physical, mental and emotional needs of each other and those we support. We listen, make deep connections and engage on a personal level to better serve those we support.
Do what’s right
We do the right thing the right way, no matter how difficult, even when no one is looking. We’re not afraid to have hard conversations. If we make a mistake, we acknowledge it, proactively find a resolution and make it right going forward.
Focus on the positive
We have a positive spirit and find the light even in the most difficult situations. We bring our whole self to work. We celebrate successes and inspire others to create meaningful impact.
Stronger together
We believe our individual strengths make us stronger together. We take accountability for our actions, connect across teams and lean in to get it done – at all levels of the company.
