Mental and Behavioral Health
VNA of Ohio knows that mental and behavioral health problems are common and influenced by many different factors.
Mental and behavioral health challenges affect how we think, feel, and act as well as determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Our team knows that it is important to pay attention to the signs and symptoms of these challenges so that patients can maintain wellness and decrease unnecessary hospitalizations.
We also know that providing home-based care for individuals is the best method in addressing and eliminating triggers that activate many of these conditions.
Due to the ongoing pandemic and because hospitals face a reduced capacity to care for these patients, this need will continue to grow. In response, we have innovated and created team- based programs full of resources to assist patients in maintaining autonomy, self-reliance, and safety.
Your Care is Our Focus.
The entire VNA of Ohio health care team works diligently to fulfill our mission. We offer patients and clients high-quality, comprehensive care that promotes the independence and dignity of those we serve and aim to serve our entire community, regardless of their material circumstance.
Our home-based health care services place your needs first.
