How We Can Help You
FirstCare is locally owned and operated. We are proud of the more than 25 years we have served our patients in Lincoln and in surrounding communities. The founders and owners of the company have many years of experience in health care management and administration. What’s more, we embody the personalized service you can expect from FirstCare by getting to know our patients. When you go to the hospital, think of us while planning your return home. We offer the same services and conveniences of the larger hospital-based home health care agencies with the advantages of a smaller patient population.
Not only does FirstCare provide hometown service, we stay involved in the local community by providing free blood pressure screens at retirement communities. We also believe in supporting our community with regular contributions made to non-profit organizations. We are here to serve you and your family.
1. Free Consultation Visit
We will provide a free consultation visit to your home or nursing facility at your request to give you more information about available services. We assess your medical needs as well as the assistance your family member needs to help you “get along” with your everyday life.
2. Case Assigned to Designated RN
Once we plan a program of assistance that suits the patient’s lifestyle, we assign a Registered Nurse (RN) Case Manager to coordinate your loved one’s care.
3. Case Manager Takes Over
The Case Manager communicates the patient’s needs, concerns and plan of care with the aides on the team, skilled nurses that see them, any therapists that are involved, physicians and designated family members. Case Managers will even go with their patients to doctor’s appointments to facilitate communication between doctor and patient, both so that the doctor gets a clear picture of the patient’s daily setting and so the patient can better understand what the doctor is telling them.
