Established in 1941, the mission of Mount Carmel Guild's Home Health Nursing Program remains to improve the quality of life for patients by increasing their medical stability and safety, so they may age in place with grace and dignity in their own homes.
The program assists low-income, homebound, Mercer County residents aged 60 years and over, with economic, medical, and social needs. Enrollees are economically disadvantaged and vulnerable senior citizens whose ongoing care is not covered by Medicare.
Care coordination includes all medical practices, the pharmacy, social services and often the family, so the patient may continue to live in familiar surroundings - averting unplanned hospitalizations and long-term institutionalization.
In 2022, our Home Health Nursing Program received reaccreditation from The National Institute for Home Health Care.

More than Nursing Care
Our registered nurses offer more to our patients than medical care. They routinely check for signs of elder abuse, food insecurity, isolation, and safety hazards. They provide comfort and companionship to those who are lonely and make referrals to other services such as Meals on Wheels, transportation to and from medical appointments, and full-time home health assistance where needed.
Our Visits
Our registered nurses schedule home visits Mondays through Fridays for which patients are NOT charged, nor do we seek reimbursement from any third party.
Please Note that our program does not offer home health aides.
