Customized Home Care
Comprehensive Support Services
Broad Street’s unique home care service model comes from our structure.
Through significant upfront planning by our highly skilled and experienced Care Coordinators and after careful selection of Direct Support Care Professionals, we focus on Condition and Client Specific training and Proactive Oversight.
This is a cornerstone to Broad Street’s high level of customer service and is what enables us to provide Direct Home Care Support that is both comprehensive and customized. This not only allows for greater attention to detail to your unique needs, but it also allows us to provide Specialized Service based on specific underlying health conditions.

Plan of Service
After understanding the underlying conditions and your specific symptoms, we then work with you to develop a dynamic plan of services.
The plan is designed to incorporate your goals and personal preferences to empower you to maintain your daily routine. It is based on best practices developed through collaboration with specialists focused on specific conditions.
It is not just about understanding what causes certain conditions and how they may progress through time but more importantly, it is about how to specifically support and help manage those specific symptoms in order to mitigate their impact on your life.
Some of these resources we work with include:
Parkinsons – Strothers, PMD, Michael J. Fox, Parkinson’s Foundation

Care Professional Selection and Training
With Care Professional Selection, our recruiting process focuses on genuine passion for care, but we also look for experience and interest in working with specific conditions.
From there, we begin a training program that includes the following:
Educational Foundation: This includes working through a curriculum focused on the causes and symptoms of specific conditions. Before you can provide direct support, it is important to establish understanding which leads to empathy, the key element to effective support.
Hands on Training: This includes the techniques and tools used to provide actual support. This can relate to physical support but also mental and emotional.
Client Specific Training: This includes the aspects that are unique to each client. While each condition has its set of similar symptoms, they often impact people in different ways. We focus on the individual vs. condition in order to customize the support.
Interdisciplinary Approach
As your Direct Home Care Support begins, both Care Professional and Care Coordinator work collaboratively with you to adjust and adapt your support.
While the goal is to support you in living life you choose, we can also help you manage your underlying health condition. This can include coordinating with your healthcare network, both to ensure we are supporting the prescribed plan but also to provide more detailed information back to help inform the effectiveness of your prescribed plan.
Your interdisciplinary team are not limited to, but may include:
Neurologists and Movement Disorder Specialists
Primary Care Physicians
Physical, Occupational and Speech/Language Therapists
Social Workers
Exercise Physiologists and Physical Trainers
Dietitians
Family Members

Care Management and Patient Advocacy
Our Care Management and Patient Advocacy services can be particularly helpful when it comes to getting Specialized Support. Both as a separate service or in combination with Direct Home Care Support. The reason for this rests on our Solutions Based Approach where we have the direct experience of managing customized care in the context of these underlying health conditions.
Professional Network: Direct working relationships along with decades of clinical experience have allowed us to build a large professional network of complementary services, particularly as it relates to specific underlying health conditions
Coordination of your Healthcare Network: Often when there are multiple physicians and therapists involved, it can create confusion or redundancy, particularly with medications. We can help streamline this process
Physician and Therapy Visits: We can attend with you to help communicate and interpret clinical information, but also to provide greater insight as to the effectiveness of your treatment plan.
Health Profiles: We can help develop and manage a health profile or Life Doc which can be used to centralize all of your health information and history, which can be helpful for any clinicians, particularly in case of emergency where medical error can be so prevalent
Private Skilled Nursing Services
Our Private Skilled Nursing Services can be used to supplement and support the overall home care solution in the context of specific underlying health conditions and chronic conditions. While we often work with Medicare providers, there are times when the Medicare solution is not sufficient or preferred. Areas where are Private Skilled Nursing can be helpful include:
Wound Care
Infusion Therapy
Respiratory Therapy (BiPap)
Feeding Tubes
Some clients prefer to have RN’s and LPN’s providing both Direct Home Care Support along with occasional Private Skilled Nursing.
