For Referring Partners
MercyOne home care and hospice agencies partner with physicians, case managers, and other clinical professionals to extend care into the home. Our skilled nurses and therapists provide enhanced care coordination, which improves your patients' care plan compliance.
Home Care
Our skilled home care services are proven to reduce readmissions to the hospital, reduce length of stay, and reduce cost.
A hospital stay is not required to qualify for services. We partner with hospitals, community physician offices, and skilled nursing facilities across the continuum of care. We consistently exceed state and national averages for quality of care and patient satisfaction. Contact us today to see how you and your patients can benefit from home care services.
Our referral process is simple, so that our mutual patients transition safely into service. Submit a referral for your patient using our express referral form.
