Avera At Home sits at 826 North 8th Street in Estherville, Iowa, and brings together a range of care services for people who want support where they live or need extra help for health issues. The staff helps with everything from general medical care, hospital and surgery services, to more specific things like pediatric care, infection control, diagnostic imaging, and infusion services, so people don't have to worry about seeking those services elsewhere. People living here have access to home health care, hospice care either at home or in a dedicated inpatient facility, palliative care through a special team, and private duty care for more direct attention when needed, and they even offer specialized programs for veterans and support families who've lost loved ones with a community bereavement program. Wellness, occupational therapy, and respiratory care show up as regular services, and meal preparation includes accommodations for allergies or diabetes, with staff ready to help out with bathing, dressing, medication, and moving in, making sure everything stays as easy as possible for residents.
The building stays wheelchair friendly, with assistance for transfers, dining rooms, furnished rooms, a barber and salon, plus laundry, dry cleaning, and regular housekeeping which all help people feel comfortable and at home, and for those who like staying social, there are resident-led and community-run activities like movie nights and arts in a dedicated arts room with walking paths and gardens for fresh air. Supervision is provided around the clock, and there's a 24-hour call system to help keep everyone safe. Avera At Home accepts Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, and private pay, which helps keep care accessible for more people. People can get support in Estherville, Sibley, and Spencer, with services reaching people within 50 miles of Estherville. It operates as part of the faith-based Avera network and stays Medicare-certified for hospice care, which means families can rely on a range of support right at home or at the facility, especially as life's final stages approach.
