our own continues at JFS. Whether you or your family member

some help getting around the house, JFS is here for you. JFS
HomeCare is certified by Medicare and Medicaid, accredited
by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
(JCAHO), and accepts health insurance reimbursements.
Services
Skilled Nursing Care
Nurses perform medical assessments and treatment in the comfort
of one's home. Wound treatment, IVs, and Diabetes instruction
are just a few examples of this type of care. Patients must
have a referral from their physician.

adjust to changes in their physical conditions due to illness,
surgery, or accident. With professional, in-home services
recommended by a physician, individuals learn to live again.
