Mary Harrison is the first smiling face you see when you walk in the door of Peninsula Home Care at Nanticoke.

"I came here to retire but ended up back at work. I love our small staff. We are all there for each other whenever anyone needs help, a shoulder to lean on or a good laugh.
It's great working for a leader who is energetic and a light in the office. Beverly, our branch director makes it a pleasure to come to work each day."

Why Mental Illness Is So Hard to Spot in Seniors

1 month ago

Why is mental illness in older adults underrecognized and underdiagnosed?

In recognition of World Mental Health Day, Peninsula Home Care wants to help you understand why and educate caregivers and loved ones on what signs to look for. Many of the signs can also be markers of simply being older... but still need attention.

Learning To Live Well With Dementia

Maybe you know someone who has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia.

While the family and caregiver may want to isolate themselves to deal with the diagnosis, you can be a pillar of support by engaging with the family and patient.

While there's no cure.. there's still hope...

You have probably seen the shingles commercial with football legend Terry Bradshaw.

Attention Peninsula Home Care patients!
We have initiated our Emergency Call plans and will be reaching out to make sure arrangements are made if weather limits transportation across the Peninsula.

Here are some things to think about:
• Having an adequate supply of medication, food and water
• Who to call if you need to evacuate
• Evacuate when the EOC says to… do not wait. EMS will have limited ability to come for you should the situation become dire or unsafe for EMS to travel
• Update your emergency contacts in your plan for our staff to call if we cannot make contact with you
• Notify physicians of patients who may be at risk at home
• Review symptoms of when to call 911 should you have trouble and we cannot make it out ... See MoreSee Less
