For years our dedicated employees have traveled thousands of miles throughout North Central Tennessee providing in-home medical services for residents in Montgomery, Cheatham, Dickson, Houston, Robertson and Stewart counties.
The
home setting provides reassurance and comfort to the patient and
also allows more interaction among family members, letting them
take a more active role in planning and assisting with the patient's
health care. Another advantage of in-home care can often be a reduction
in medical expenses.
Because we are a hospital-based home health agency, you can be assured that the Gateway Home Care staff represents a wide spectrum of specialties who offer the same quality of care you find at Gateway Medical Center.
Our experienced and compassionate team of healthcare professionals provides care ranging from follow-up assessments after a hospital stay to other specialized care.
