Q  How will Excela Home Care benefit me?
A  Excela offers advanced medical care by specially trained home care staff in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Q  Why should I choose home care?
A  Receiving care at home may eliminate extended hospital stays, the need to travel to the hospital for treatment or the need for convalescent care.

Q  How do I get home care?
A  Your doctor should refer you or you may obtain a referral from a nurse, social worker, social service agency or insurance company. Our staff work closely with your physician to ensure you or a family member receives the expert care you need. Excela Home Care serves residents within Westmoreland and its surrounding counties.

Q  Is home care just for senior citizens?
