Newswise — LifeBridge Health and HomeCare Maryland have joined forces to provide health care for people in their own homes if they are disabled or living with one or more chronic conditions.

This new partnership offers a seamless method of continuing care for those in fragile health so they can make a smooth transition back home after a stay in a hospital or in a skilled nursing facility. The new HomeCare Maryland extends the reach of LifeBridge Health’s comprehensive services to make it convenient to people who need continuing care.

“It was a natural merger for two strong companies to align themselves,” says Aric Spitulnik, a senior vice president of LifeBridge Health. “We are proud to team up with HomeCare Maryland, a company with a committed team of experienced health professionals dedicated to providing individualized care.”

HomeCare Maryland provides a wide range of specialists who treat and care for patients in their own homes, according to instructions from their own physicians. These experts include nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech pathologists, home health aides, social workers and dietitians.

“Our company provides licensed health care professionals to support those who are homebound,” says Gary L. Attman, managing member of HomeCare Maryland. “Each member of our staff is Medicare-certified and is committed to working together everyday to fulfill our mission of improving the health of people in the community. We are thrilled to be working with the outstanding experts at LifeBridge Health.”

As a result of the partnership with LifeBridge Health, HomeCare Maryland is adopting the latest technology to enhance the ease and efficiency with which doctors and their patients interact.
