The Overlook Visiting Nurse Association (OVNA) provides at-home care that improves the quality of life for adults 18+.
OVNA services are prescribed by a qualified physician. Then, a plan of care is developed by a professional OVNA team to achieve each patient’s specific medical and personal goals. The team includes nurses, therapists, social workers, aides, and companion professionals.
Get the home care services you need for a better life.
For the convenience of patients and family members, admission to OVNA home care can be completed within 24 hours. Whether that’s a residence at The Overlook or at home, we’ll make the transition easy and seamless.
OVNA offers 15 care programs to address the most complex medical care and non-medical personal care needs. The goals are always to ensure safety and prevent re-hospitalization.
The Overlook’s home health, palliative care and hospice teams work together to create a smooth transition between levels of care. Palliative care and hospice care are similar, and in the event of a serious illness, it’s common for a person to receive receive both. Palliative care includes medical care of a patient’s symptoms in addition to treatment intended to cure a serious illness. Hospice focuses on the compassionate care and comfort of a person with an incurable illness who is approaching the end of life.
