Diabetic Home Health Care in Ogden, Utah
Skilled nurses who come to your home to help you or your loved one get diabetes under control and stay out of the hospital. We serve Ogden, Roy, Layton, Clearfield, Kaysville, Farmington, Bountiful and the rest of Weber and Davis County.
Diabetes care is our specialty
Diabetes is hard to manage alone, especially after a hospital stay, a new diagnosis, a change in insulin, or a wound that won’t heal. Our nurses visit you at home, check how things are really going, and teach you and your family what to do day to day. We work directly with your doctor so the plan keeps up with you.
How our nurses help at home
- Blood sugar checks and help reading the numbers
- Insulin teaching: pens, syringes, timing, storage, and giving injections when needed
- Reviewing all medications so diabetes pills and insulin work safely together
- Diabetic foot checks and care for sores, ulcers and slow-healing wounds
- Spotting low and high blood sugar early, and what to do about it
- Simple, realistic guidance on meals, activity and sick days
- Physical and occupational therapy for balance, strength and fall prevention
- Updates to your doctor when something changes
Who we help
Older adults who have just come home from McKay-Dee, Ogden Regional, Davis Hospital or another hospital; people newly started on insulin; anyone with a diabetic foot wound; and families worried that a parent is missing doses or having lows. If you’re not sure whether you qualify, call us and we’ll talk it through.
Paying for diabetic home health
Medicare-certified home health is covered by Medicare when a doctor orders it, you need skilled nursing or therapy, and leaving home is a major effort. Many Medicare Advantage and other plans cover it too. We check your coverage before care begins, so there are no surprises.
Common questions
Do I need a doctor’s order?
Yes. Home health needs an order from your doctor. If you don’t have one yet, call us — we can contact your doctor’s office for you.
Can a nurse give insulin shots at home?
Our nurses teach you or a family member to give insulin safely, and can give injections when that is part of the plan your doctor orders.
Do you treat diabetic foot wounds?
Yes. Wound care is one of our core services. Our nurses clean and dress wounds, watch for infection and keep your doctor updated.
