Private Duty
Private Duty
offers a broad range of services that
are not covered by Medicare, Medicaid or
most private insurance plans. Services
are delivered through a direct contract
between the VNA and the recipient of the
requested services.
If
you are caring for someone with
Alzheimer’s Disease or Dementia, then
you’ve already made a decision we
understand and can help you with. We
know how important it is to live at home
in familiar and comforting surroundings.
You can trust us to support your choice
and help you.
That is why
so many families just like yours have
depended on us for assistance over the
years. The purpose of Private Duty is to
provide care in the client’s home,

We help
families like yours seeking respite
care. The VNA offers 24-hour/7 day a

a manager on call and supervisory home
visits. Our integral level of care
assures you that are not alone in your
journey.
