| HOW TO MAKE A REFERRAL
Referral Form
Our vision is to be
recognized as the premier provider of home care services as measured by superior
quality, dedicated/professional people, outstanding service and financial
strength. This begins with the referral. McLaren Visiting Nurse & Hospice is
available 24 hours a day to care for their patients and families. We know it’s
not always possible to conduct business during normal hours of 8-5, therefore we
have nurses on call after hours and on the weekends to answer your questions and
take your referrals. We receive referrals from patients and/or a family,
friends, clergy, trustee officers, nurses and doctors just to name a few.
Contrary to what some believe, it is not always necessary to have a Doctor’s
order to make a referral. We will contact the Doctor for you.

Our scope of services is comprehensive and far-reaching. We offer home care for those who have been discharged from the hospital and need teaching about medications, diets or a disease process such as diabetes or heart disease. Other examples include wound management or dressing changes. You might be recovering from a hip or knee replacement and need a little physical therapy or occupational therapy to increase your strength and endurance. Maybe you suffered from a stroke and need a language pathologist to help you regain your speech and swallowing abilities.
Hospice Care is a program designed to meet the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual and practical needs of terminally ill patients and their families. This philosophy of care is aimed at maintaining or improving the quality of life and helps the patient and their families live their lives as fully as possible.
If you or a family member think you might benefit from one of our core services of home care or hospice you may call the office. If it is after hours or on the weekend you will be asked to give your name and number to the answering service and they will contact the nurse to call you back. You can discuss concerns and options with the nurse at that time.
