Care Connection of Cincinnati's a senior home healthcare company that's been serving people in Cincinnati, Ohio, for almost 15 years, and they've got licensed home health services like nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and home health aides, plus medical social services, nutritional guidance, and pharmacy support, so you see a wide range available for those needing care at home. The agency's been CMS certified since April 23, 2003, and their staff includes licensed practical or vocational nurses, registered nurses, therapists, home health aides, social workers, and other professionals, so families get access to various types of expertise. Most patients give high marks, too, with 84% saying they'd definitely recommend the agency and 85% giving a top rating of 9 or 10 out of 10, which seems good for folks who want reliable care at home.
People using Care Connection of Cincinnati often talk about good communication, with an 87% satisfaction rate for care communication and 90% saying the staff acts professionally, which matters a lot when someone's dealing with medical issues and wants things clear. The team checks in to discuss medicines, pain, and safety 83% of the time and has a 90% rate on teaching about medications. The care provided covers different needs, from help with daily activities like bathing or getting dressed to more medical services like wound care, pain management, and heart failure treatment, which they report completing every time needed. They also have memory care communities for folks living with dementia, assisted living and independent living options in community settings, and even board and care homes in residential neighborhoods where seniors can get support while living more like at home.
They focus on prevention, too, checking every patient for depression and fall risk, always including treatments in their plans to lower the chance of pressure sores, and making sure to act on doctors' orders to prevent such issues. The agency helps diabetic patients, managing foot care with strong follow-through (about 94-98%), and checks up on vaccinations-though flu shot and pneumonia shot checks are in the lower range (around 69-75%). When folks leave the hospital, Care Connection of Cincinnati tries to start services within two weeks, and they often provide care when people are moving from hospital back to home, supporting them during the transition.
Care Connection offers help for people recovering from surgery or illness, and though about 31% of patients end up needing hospital admission during home care and 10% visit an ER without admission, those rates can be common when helping folks with complex or serious health needs at home. When it comes to rehab and daily function goals, outcomes show mixed progress-roughly half to two-thirds of patients improve with pain while moving (57 to 65%), bathing (59-67%), getting in and out of bed (54-59%), and walking or moving around (54-62%), which means some get better while others need ongoing support. Medication management's one area where only about 44-50% of people take their medicine correctly by mouth, so some may want to ask about extra reminders or support if that's a concern.
Care Connection works with Medicare and is a proprietary home health care agency with detailed records and utilization stats for several Cincinnati hospitals. They cover home health, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and provide educational, social, and daily living support depending on what a senior needs, whether it's someone living mostly on their own or a person in need of constant skilled care and supervision around the clock. While the agency's experienced a technical error with its website at times and some service results do vary, people in Cincinnati have used Care Connection to help themselves or loved ones navigate health and daily needs at home and in senior living communities, and their range of care options and staff types let families choose services that fit their situation.
