Bartlett Home Health & Hospice

Bartlett Home Health & Hospice is a home health care provider in Auke Bay, AK. It is a Medicare-Certified Home Health agency that provides intermittent in-home care for individuals recovering from illness or surgery, or for those who need temporary assistance managing their health. Services include skilled nursing for medication management, wound care, ostomy education and care, diabetes, COPD, CHF education and management, catheter management, and palliative care. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available as prescribed by a provider, and clinical social workers help connect patients and families to community resources. Home health aide services such as bathing, showering, shaving, and dressing may be covered by insurance for patients also receiving skilled nursing or therapy care. A registered nurse is on call 24 hours per day, seven days a week.

Care is built around an individualized treatment plan developed in partnership with the patient, their personal provider, caregivers, and loved ones, with each patient's personal goals for recovery included in the comprehensive assessment. The care team typically includes registered nurses, medical or licensed clinical social workers, home health aides, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Bartlett Home Health is part of Bartlett Regional Hospital, which was originally opened in 1886 as St. Ann's Hospital and today operates from a facility on Hospital Drive in Juneau. The hospital serves a 15,000-square-mile region in the northern part of Southeast Alaska, with most communities in the service area accessible only by boat or plane, and provides home health and hospice care among its outpatient offerings.

The office is located on West Willoughby Avenue, about a fifth of a mile from the Juneau Federal Building and the Alaska State Museum, with Egan Drive and Glacier Avenue nearby. Gold Creek runs roughly the same distance away.

As part of the oldest hospital in Southeast Alaska, Bartlett Home Health & Hospice brings more than a century of regional healthcare experience to in-home nursing, therapy, and hospice support across northern Southeast Alaska.
