Henry Ford Extended Care/Private Duty Services

What is private duty service?

Private duty services may be arranged for patients who need extended care, from a few hours a week to round-the-clock-care. Typically, this is paid for privately, or through specialized, long-term care policies.

We tailor our services to fit the specific needs of our clients in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Jackson counties. Flexible scheduling allows us to provide short-term or long-term care to clients in the home or facility setting, as well as specialized care for students in their schools.

When ordered by a physician, our in-home phlebotomy service is a safe and convenient option for clients who require blood draws.
