Home Healthcare Infusion Therapy

Contact Us

Home infusion provides a comfortable alternative to receiving intravenous (IV) therapy in the hospital. Patients can often return to their normal routines and, in some cases, return to work while still on home IV therapy.

Infusion Nursing Support

Continuum's home infusion service consists of a specialized team of registered nurses. All team members are trained in the insertion and management of IV lines. Nurses provide teaching and support to make sure you and your family are comfortable with your IV therapy at home.

Pharmacy Support

We provide IV therapies, such as antibiotics, pain management and chemotherapy, with easy-to-use infusion pumps and supplies. We can directly deliver your IV drugs and supplies to your home. Your infusion pharmacist works closely with your doctor and home care nurse to make sure your care and treatment goals are met and care is coordinated.

Our nutritional support team closely monitors your nutritional needs and can provide necessary products at home, such as tube feedings or IV nutrition. The team includes a physician, registered dietician, pharmacist and nurse.
