Alleo Health Expands Reach into Private Duty Care Services
Addition of Comprehensive Care expands ability to serve needs of area patients, families
Alleo Health System, the parent company of Hospice of Chattanooga, has added Comprehensive Care, a private duty care agency servicing Tennessee and Georgia, into its family of services. The addition of Comprehensive Care expands Alleo Health’s service offerings, which include hospice, palliative, and children’s services along with counseling and grief support.
“We are excited about having Comprehensive Care under the Alleo Health umbrella to ensure we can provide additional quality resources to patients and families regardless of where they are in life’s journey,” said Tracy Wood, President and CEO of Alleo Health System.
The addition of Comprehensive Care provides a continuum of care for patients and their loved ones who can benefit from the assistance of a professional in their home or a home-setting, such as an assisted living or skilled nursing facility, for up to 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Comprehensive Care offers more than a dozen programs ranging from companion and personal care to telehealth services.
According to Comprehensive Care Executive Director Julie Hogan, the agency offers a unique and successful model in the healthcare industry.
“Unlike others in this space, we provide care management and navigation through the health care system. We give our clients options and review resources with them, as well as provide counseling on their benefits to help them identify additional sources to pay for their care. It’s truly a comprehensive approach.”
Services for Comprehensive Care’s patients will continue seamlessly during the transition. And current staffing levels will remain in place.
Comprehensive Care entered the local market in 2017 and has experienced increased demand from those requiring private duty care services.
“As U.S. demographics skew older, it will become increasingly important to provide quality care solutions in a variety of settings for our seniors and others, and to collectively expand our impact on the communities we serve,” added Wood.
