HCR Home Care expanding service

HCR Home Care, a nationally recognized provider of home health care services, has launched operations in Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, St. Lawrence and Warren counties, following the New York State Department of Health's recommendation. This expansion will increase patient choice among home health care agencies and help meet the local need for community-based, home health services to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations. It also extends HCR's presence in the North Country, as the company has served patients and families in Clinton County since 2012 and in Washington County since 2013. "HCR is a leader in providing high-quality home health care services across New York state," said Elizabeth Zicari, president, HCR Home Care. "HCR is very pleased to bring our more-than-35-year history of quality and specialized services, as well as our award-winning care programs, to more patients and families in the North Country." Zicari noted that HCR is nationally recognized for care quality and for patient and physician satisfaction, and the company has been named a Top 100 agency by HomeCare Elite™. HCR's expansion plan was approved by the New York State Public Health and Health Planning Council in October 2013, following the strong support from several North Country health care providers and community organizations. HCR, which has been operating in the North Country since 2012, works closely with stakeholders in Clinton County to improve patient care and outcomes. "HCR Home Care is an essential partner in our efforts to ensure patients have the best possible care at the right time and in the right place, including the support they need to heal in the comfort of their own homes," said Karen L. Ashline, assistant vice president, Adirondacks ACO, Northern Adirondack Medical Home. "Our ongoing efforts to provide high-quality care are complemented by the expanded efforts of HCR Home Care in our communities." The company's North Country operations will be based at its Clinton County office in Plattsburgh, under the leadership of Nichole Louis, director of patient services. Patient care needs will be met by HCR's team of local clinicians dedicated to HCR's mission of fostering and advancing the health of people.
