Care at Home

There's nothing like being at home when you're recovering from an illness or a stay at a health care facility. And that's especially true when you can rely on the help of Wake Forest Baptist Health Care at Home.

Why Do You Need Home HealthCare?

You're returning to the comfort and familiar surroundings of your own home. So why do you still need a nurse or therapist? It's because your doctors believe your best chance of recovering is for you to receive visits from a home health nurse or therapist. They will make sure your treatment, which began here in the health care facility is continued and completed at your home.

Wake Forest Baptist Heath Care at Home allows you to recover at home. It also ensures your home health team works with your hospital and community doctors to coordinate your care and get you the special care you need.
