Piedmont HomeHealth

I helped Piedmont HomeHealth, based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, promote their services by designing a logo and writing and designing two brochures—one to promote nursing services and the other to describe the Bath Plus program to assist with the tasks of daily living.

Preserving Independence, Security and Comfort for You and Those You Love

Most people wish for themselves and their loved ones the greatest degree of independence, security and comfort for the longest time possible. But when illness or disability strike, those vitally important values can be threatened.

At Piedmont HomeHealth, Inc., we are dedicated to helping people enjoy the comfort, privacy and familiarity of their own place—whether in a private home or a retirement community setting—for as long as possible.

We also recognize and address the special needs of family caregivers, providing supplemental and respite care for their loved ones in nursing centers and hospitals.

All our employees and caregivers are thoroughly screened and drug-tested, so you can rest assured the person in your home, caring for your loved one, is trustworthy and qualified for the job.

Our professionals are bonded and insured, so if problems occur or accidents happen, you are well-protected.

We provide continuous, specialized training well in excess of state-mandated requirements.

We handle all scheduling and make sure staff is available for all visits, so you never have to worry about employee absences or finding your own back-up personnel in case of illness or emergencies.

We handle all recruiting, interviewing, hiring and supervising of our employees. You never have to worry with finding and managing qualified staff to provide the care you need.

Our Director of Nursing spends considerable time in the field supervising our professionals and ensuring we meet the changing or specialized needs of each patient.

We are licensed by the State of North Carolina and adhere to the industry’s most rigorous standards to assure that we deliver the highest quality of care.

If problems arise, we stand ready to resolve them to your complete satisfaction.

Your Hometown Professionals

Piedmont HomeHealth, Inc., began in 1970 as City Nursing. In our first quarter-century of service, we have built our growth and success on the quality of our people. Most of our employees have been with our company for years.

Our hometown connection is strong and deep. We are based in Winston-Salem and continue to be independently owned and operated by people living right here in your community. We understand your needs and expectations, and we are dedicated to treating you not just as clients and patients, but as our friends, neighbors and family.
