NorthStar House Call Program

Address:  111 Franklin Health Commons
Farmington, ME 04938
Phone:  (207) 779-2025
Contact:  Mike Senecal, Regional Operations Mgr.
 
Clients:  Anyone is elgible, although the program focuses on recent discharges from hospitals and nursing homes, with House Call visits beginning as soon as home health care agency visits have ceased.
Services:  This free program offers residents an opportunity to meet and get acquainted with EMTs before an emergency strikes and helps alleviate family concern about loved ones who live alone. During a home visit, EMTs offer simple health screenings such as blood pressure and glucose level checks, as well as home safety checks. The resident completes a short informational questionnaire (similar to a medical history) for the crew's future reference. EMTs are also prepared to refer the resident to services that might be needed, such as fuel assistance, meals-on-wheels, and other local assistance programs. The initial visit generally lasts less than 30 minutes. During this period, the crew will establish a schedule for future visits if the resident is interest.
