family, the aide, and other involved individuals and organizations to
ensure the very best care is being provided.
- You will immediately and directly speak to a nurse or social
worker when you call the office. No phone trees or recordings!

give personalized attention and care to each of our
clients. You will have direct access to our office staff who are
familiar with each client and his or her home care situation.

WHAT MAKES COHME UNIQUE
We are proud of having established an innovative program to improve the lives of our home health aides. A social-work career specialist on staff is an advocate for COHME's caregivers. She helps the aides with practical problems and needs, as well as serving as a resource for furthering their education and career advancement. Caring for the caregivers reflects our commitment to our home care staff as well as our clients. A more stable, satisfied, and dedicated staff in turn results in even better care for our clients.
