Home Care

In-home nursing and support services that help Piikani Nation members live safely and comfortably.

Compassionate Care at Home

The Home Care Program at Aakom Kiyii Health Services provides essential nursing and personal support services to Piikani Nation members who require assistance to remain safely in their homes. Our team works closely with clients, families, and healthcare providers to create care plans that meet each individual’s needs while respecting their independence, dignity, and cultural values.

Services are available to individuals recovering from illness or injury, those living with chronic conditions, and Elders who need ongoing support. Care is provided by qualified nurses, home care aides, and support staff who are committed to delivering respectful, compassionate, and culturally appropriate services.

Home Care may include nursing visits, personal care, medication support, and assistance with daily activities. The program also works with hospitals, physicians, and community services to ensure a smooth transition from hospital to home and to help clients maintain their health, safety, and quality of life.
