Home Care Support

Someday, there will be a cure for cancer; until then, the Columbus Cancer Clinic is here to serve all those in need. Patients who have completed initial treatment may continue to need supportive home care, sometimes for several years. Many have no way to pay for this type of care. For those who cannot afford care, the Clinic offers many services.

In collaboration with other not-for-profit home health agencies, the Columbus Cancer Clinic is able to offer services to those cancer patients who need further assistance. These services include:

• Visiting Home Health Nurses
• Clinical Social Work Counseling
• Therapy Services
• Home Health Aide Services

In addition to these subsidized services, the Columbus Cancer Clinic is able to provide medical supplies and equipment, groceries, nutritional supplements, medication assistance, transportation to and from cancer-related medical appointments, wigs and breast prostheses, all at no cost to the patient.

The Columbus Cancer Clinic’s home care support philosophy is that any individual dealing with cancer should have access to needed home care services. These services are to be comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and provided regardless of ability to pay.

If you are a physician, family member, hospital social services department or home health agency and want to learn more about the Columbus Cancer Clinic’s home care support program, please call 614-263-5006 for more information.
