Dove Home Care announces expansion of services

7/10/2008

Dove Home Care, 1416 Cumming Avenue, Superior, has announced the expansion of its service area to include all of Douglas County, Northern Burnett and Southern Bayfield counties effective August 1.
With the recent closure of Douglas County Home Care and reductions in St. Mary’s Home Care, Dove will continue to focus on providing skilled homecare services to area residents.

“We’re very pleased to be able to fill a gap in Home Care Services in Bayfield and Burnett Counties,” said Greg Leiviska, Director of Dove, “We can arrange an initial meeting with a case manager with a phone call from the patient, a doctor, social worker, or family member.”

Dove Home Care is a private not-for-profit agency, affiliated with Catholic Charities Bureau of Superior. Dove Home Care has a long history in Superior and Douglas County. Founded in 1981, Dove Home Care was established to provide needed services in the area that were not provided by other agencies.

The broader coverage provided by Dove continues that philosophy. Home health care is an essential service that the Dove believes enhances the lives of people whether living independently, in group settings, or in housing designed for the elderly. The services provided by Dove Home Care are available to anyone in need regardless of religious affiliation or economic circumstances.

Dove Home Care is Medicare and Medicaid certified and licensed, providing skilled nursing services, physical, speech and occupational therapy, home health aides, lab work, dressing changes, injections and infusions, 24-hour care, supportive care for the terminally ill and pediatric care for children. Dove accepts Medicare, Medicaid, Private Insurance and Private Pay clients that require a skilled service on an intermittent basis as well as those clients who require private duty nursing to remain in their home.

Dove Home Care professionals have earned their reputation for competent care of people with ongoing or temporary health issues. Whether the need is for care 24-hours a day or a visit once a week, Dove Home Care will assist people in need to regain an independent lifestyle.

Dove Home Care develops an individual plan of care for each person served. Dove can be reached at 1416 Cumming Avenue, Superior, WI 54880, 715-392-3133 or 1-888-395-9195, www.thedovesuperior.com
