Complete Home Health Services offers help and care at home any Twin Cities seniors are discovering there’s no place like home — especially when you can get needed care right there.

St. Anthony resident Gwen N., age 96, wanted to stay in her home rather than move to a nursing home; although it was becoming more difficult to maintain her daily schedule, she wanted to remain in the neighborhood she has lived in for over 40 years. Gwen, whose children supply her daily meals, needed just a little help with bathing. That’s where Complete Home Health Services filled the gap. Drawing from a wide variety of medical and companion services, Complete Home Health Services put together a plan to meet Gwen’s needs and ease her family’s concerns. Gwen is now visited by a home health aid who helps her with her bath and other daily routines. “It’s more convenient for me,” says Gwen, who enjoyed a long career as a nurse herself. “And it relieves my family of that obligation.” Gwen praises her home health aid, Nancy. “She is so accommodating, so kind and gentle,” Gwen says. “She always asks if there is anything else she can do for me.” Complete Home Health Services offers help ranging from IV care, wound care and respiratory therapy to housekeeping, respite care and companion services, case management and even end-of-life care. Needed services

are available to people of any age and may be covered by insurance or out of pocket, and are available on a short-term or long-term basis. For people who find they need more care than they expected after an illness or hospital discharge, Complete Home Health Services offers help on short notice, with a call service answering the phone 24/7. Complete Home Health Services was founded in 2009 by family doctor Sirri Nomo-Ongolo, who realized there was a need for in-home care among the senior community. In her clinic she often saw adult children leaving work and driving across the metro area to get an elderly parent in for a simple diagnosis or checkup. She wanted to bring care to the patients where they were, without exorbitant fees. Dr. Nomo-Ongolo also knew many people recover from surgery or injury faster when they’re able to do so in the peace and familiar surroundings of their own homes. “There is something comforting about being in your own home,” she notes. Dr. NomoOngolo will also be offering physician house calls in the future. Though many clients live in the St. Anthony area, Complete Home Health Services offers home care to anyone in the Twin Cities. Whether your needs are great or small, Complete Home Health Services can meet those needs with professionalism, kindness and affordability.

Gwen, age 96, enjoys the visits from her caregiver, Nancy Johnson, a home health aid with Home Health Care Services.
