Our staff has the experience and training to help you recover safely at home, preventing complications that could result in additional hospital time. So, whether you’re just home from the hospital, or trying to prevent going there, call us, let us help you stay at home! 1-866-976-8686
We are Certified by Medicare, Medicaid & Blue Cross. Of course, we accept many other insurance plans also. Medicare certification is earned only after we proved to government inspectors that we met their regulations AND passed an on-site inspection (with flying colors!). Only after we passed the rigors of Medicare’s criteria, were we eligible to apply for Blue Cross/Blue Shield certification. They have additional standards and rules.
We
want to be able to serve our community. If you find that you’d like to
use our
services, but are told we are not a ‘preferred provider’, let us know –
it
can’t happen in time for this service opportunity, but we can
investigate to
see if we can work with your insurance in the future! Call us, our toll free number is

Alpha
Omega Home Health has been named to the 2007 HomeCare
Elite, a compilation of the most successful Medicare-certified home health care
providers in the United States! This annual review identifies the top 25% of
agencies, ranked by an analysis of performance measures in quality outcomes,
quality improvement and financial performance. Alpha Omega Home Health, LLC is
the only agency in the Thumb or Bay City/Saginaw/Midland area to have receive this NATIONAL honor!
The 2007 HomeCare Elite is
brought to the industry by OCS, Inc., the leading provider of healthcare
informatics and DecisionHealth, publisher of home care’s most respected
independent newsletter Home Health Line. The entire list of the 2007 HomeCare
Elite agencies can be viewed by visiting the OCS web site at www.ocsys.com.
Alpha Omega Home Health’s owner, Joanne Sopko, RN of Pigeon credits (1) the excellent work of the staff, (2) the excellent family caregivers our Patients have, and (3) caring for each Patient as an individual with the company’s ability to rank as one of the HomeCare Elite. She said, "We are very honored to receive this national award. At Alpha Omega Home Health, LLC, we put the Patient's needs first. We do things the ‘old fashioned way’, by evaluating the Patient, then designing their home health care services based on their needs. When you do that, everything else falls into line. Being a locally owned and operated company also helps."
"Making the 2007 HomeCare Elite is commendable in today’s highly competitive home health care industry," said Jonathan Stern, Group Publisher of DecisionHealth’s Home Health Group. "We congratulate Alpha Omega Home Health on being one of the top 25% best performing home care agencies in the country."The
Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP) accredits Alpha Omega
Home
Health, LLC.
These are extra, external quality standards to assure
our patients get the best care possible. Once again, we must prove we
meet
these standards, and pass a 5-day on-site inspection that included
Patient
visits. Finding our agency’s name on the list of Accredited agencies
verifies
that CHAP accredits us:
http://www.chapinc.org/chap-list.htm.
From
CHAP's own website, the purpose of CHAP Accreditation is:
|
• |
To objectively validate
the excellence of community health care practice through
consistent measurement of the delivery of quality services |
|
• |
To assist the
public in the selection of community health services and providers with
demonstrated excellence |
|
• |
To lead by
example through organizational excellence and quality performance |
We live and work in
the thumb. Many of us are life long, or long time residents of
the Thumb. We’re
your neighbors, and we will treat you right. We’ve seen the news
articles of local groups
helping put roofs on houses, people who’ve been burned
out of their homes being overwhelmed by
donations, the plot of land over by Laker’s High School
designated to feed the poor. That’s
what neighbors do. At Alpha Omega Home Health, we provide free in-home
evaluation visits, in the hospital before discharge (also free), and if
you
don’t have insurance, or if you have co-pays or deductibles, we will
provide
free or reduced cost services to those with hardships.
Joanne Sopko, RN, the owner of Alpha Omega Home Health, has lived in Caseville Township for 20 years. Joanne often ‘takes call’, that means when you call with problems, or concerns, she’s often the voice on the other end of the phone. And, if she’s not, and you need to speak to her, most of the time (except for vacations) staff can reach her and have her call you back – day or night.
And
speaking of the voice at the other end of the phone – when you call
after
hours, you do have to let the phone ring about 6 or 7 times, but it’s a
real
person that answers the phone. And it’s not an answering
service – it’s the
actual RN that’s on-call. We understand that if you’re calling after
hours, you
need help. We want to give it to you without a hassle, so we make it
easy for
you.
We
verify the licenses, backgrounds, references and education of
our staff. We have all heard those news stories of people masquerading
as
doctors when they really weren’t. That’s scary. We won’t have that – in
fact,
this is one of those CHAP Accreditation standards we mentioned. We are
required
to do extra checks on these facts (and are glad to do so). That means
we
actually check with the State of Michigan to verify that our
professional staff
have current licenses, we get a copy of the actual degree to be sure
that it
was completed, we do a very thorough criminal background check on every
employee to be sure they do not have a prior history. When our
employees come
through your door, you can be sure they are someone you can trust.
Joanne
Sopko, RN, owns Alpha
Omega Home Health. She has over 25 years of home health experience.
Nursing
ownership makes the Patient the ‘bottom line’! We
do not decide what
kind of care to give our Patient based on a profit margin. We make that
decision based on what is best for the Patient. Joanne has managed home
health
agencies profitably in this manner for several decades, and knows that
what is
best for the Patient is good all around! Joanne has stated, “When you
do what’s
right, everything else falls in line!
