Personal Home Healthcare and Hospice
Personal Home Healthcare and Hospice runs out of a two-story office at 233 Main St in Blakely, Pennsylvania, and it’s worth being clear up front: this isn’t a place where people live, it’s a team that brings care to patients in their own homes. The neighborhood around the office scores a 75 out of 100 on Walk Score, which counts as very walkable, so most errands nearby don’t need a car. Office hours run Monday through Friday, 8:30 in the morning to 5 in the evening, if you want to stop by in person.
The actual care here covers a lot of ground: there’s rehabilitation services and respite care, a doctor on staff, and licensed nurses and CNAs handling the clinical side. Beyond that, the team includes registered nurses, chaplain services for spiritual support, and social workers who provide counseling, plus access to a range of therapy services. Staffing runs 24 hours a day, so help isn’t limited to business hours even though the office itself is.
There’s also a volunteer program built into how this agency operates, giving patients an extra layer of human connection on top of the clinical work. Medicare is accepted here, which matters a lot for hospice and home health care specifically, since that’s how most patients end up paying for these services in the first place.
Mark Siderowicz runs things as Executive Director. Put together, Personal Home Healthcare is a home health and hospice agency built around full clinical coverage, chaplain and counseling support, and round-the-clock availability, all delivered wherever the patient actually lives.
