John Muir Health offers a full spectrum of services to meet a variety of healthcare needs. Our highly skilled staff collaborates closely with you, your family and your doctor to help you achieve your health care goals.
Home Health Services' experienced and caring team includes Registered Nurses; physical, occupational, and speech therapists; medical social workers; dieticians; and Certified Home Health Aides.
Your doctor can order our services for you if you are homebound and have a skilled need or you have recently given birth. We offer home health services to individuals of all ages, from infants to seniors with a wide range of clinical needs who reside in Contra Costa and parts of Alameda and Solano counties.
In 2010, we celebrated receiving the distinguished Press Ganey Award for Statistical Improvements in Patient Satisfaction.
We start by working very closely with you and your family to assess the specific needs for education and care to help you recover. Next, we develop a plan with you to provide the best care possible in your own home.
