CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION: (715) 284-5361
Keeping patients safe, comfortable, and successful at home as long as possible.
Care at Home is an overarching term we use to simplify a variety of services offered by either Black River Memorial Hospital or the Black River Healthcare Clinic. The services below can be used either alone or in conjunction with another to further individualize your care to your specific needs.
Please call us at 715-284-5361 to discuss how we can care for you while you maintain your independence level at home.
Each Care at Home service is independent and should not be construed as a comprehensive home health agency. If you are searching for a comprehensive home health agency, please call us at 715-284-3355 and we would be happy to provide you information on the home health agency options for Jackson County.
