WHY ANOVA?
Anova Health Care System is a family-owned and operated business specializing in comprehensive home care and support services. On a mission to bringing high-quality, compassionate health care to patients in their own homes in Western Pennsylvania, we provide:
Patient-centered & Compassionate Care
The patient experience is at the core of everything we do at Anova. We take time to understand the physical, mental and emotional needs of our home health patients. We deliver specialized and compassionate care by taking the time to understand each patient’s needs on a deeper level.
True Continuum of Care
Our patients will receive the right care at the right time. Whether you need home health, hospice, palliative care or personal care, we have high-quality programs to meet your needs.
24/7 Responsive On-Call Management
Anova team members are available around-the-clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. This means greater peace of mind for you and your family.
Efficient Care Transitions
Patients are particularly vulnerable as they transition from hospitals to post-acute care settings or the community. At Anova, we partner with your Doctor, Hospital, and/or facility to ensure smooth care transitions and care coordination, which helps reduce avoidable rehospitalizations.
Superior Service Coordination
Strong nurse-to-patient ratios help ensure patients receive personalized care and frequent visits when needed. Working closely with your Doctor, we develop plans of care that are tailored to your unique needs and goals. Patients with COPD, heart failure, diabetes, dementia and conditions that increase their risk of falling can also benefit from our hospice and home health specialty programs. Our customized care promotes improved quality of life and better outcomes for you.
Direct & Transparent Communication
With busy schedules and large patient caseloads, strong communication is critical. We provide timely patient updates that fit your needs and help you manage patient care.
Rigorous Quality Standards
Anova has been recognized Seven times over by Homecare Elite. With this award, Anova is recognized as being in the top 25% of all Home Health agencies in the country.
Training and Support to Empower Patients
We engage and empower patients to learn how to manage their condition through individualized patient goals, caregiver integration and comprehensive patient education.
QUALIFIED STAFF
You expect the best, and you deserve the best care available. Anova ensures top-quality caregivers through a meticulous screening and selection process. We train our employees in the skills they require, and we regularly monitor their performance.
Our screening process includes a review of professional and character references, proper licensure or certification, criminal history record, child abuse record, satisfactory work record, and drug testing. Employees must also comply with Anova policies and our Agreement to Standards.
Staff competence is monitored and evaluated on a regular basis. We provide specific training to caregivers if additional skills are needed to meet the needs of our patients.
QUALITY & INNOVATION
Anova strives to be a leader in high-quality in-home care. We measure our success by the quality of care we provide and the satisfaction of our patients and families. In ensuring quality, Anova applies advanced technologies that provide superior ways to connect and ensure patients get the care and attention they need.
We utilize Kantime, a state-of-the-art software system that seamlessly connects communications between patients, caregivers and physicians. The result is high-quality in-home patient care, easier processes and a broader geographic reach. We strive for absolute transparency in all aspects of care to ensure superior outcomes for our patients.
Additionally, our web-based portal delivers increased transparency into a patient’s medical history, progress and customized plan of care. Both our Patient and Physicians portals bring clarity and collaboration to the home health, hospice, and in-home care experiences.
