Brockton Home health Care Agency have built our model on the premise that if we approach the care of a patient with mental illness from a holistic perspective, within his/her chosen environment, we will be successful in preventing frequent hospitalizations, thereby, making psychiatric home health care the most cost-effective treatment available for this patient population.
Research has shown that each time a psychiatric patient is hospitalized, the overall impact on the lifetime management of his/her disease is compounded in a negative way, affecting the ability to obtain and maintain a stable, independent and desirable quality of life.
We offer a well-rounded team approach to the therapeutic interventions that allow the psychiatric patient to maintain in his/her home environment, inspite of the regular adjustments necessary in response to exacerbations of illness, stressors and needed adjustments to medication. Our team includes:
- Psychiatric Nurses with bachelor level degrees or board certification
- Psychiatric Social Workers with years of experience in working with this population
- Home Health Aides who have specific training in helping psychiatric patients manage their personal hygiene while appropriately managing fears, paranoia and disorders that make hygiene an issue
Our customers consistently demonstrate improved: 
- Management of oral medications
- Management of injectable medications
