Our Services | Gilead Health Care, Inc.

The elderly, especially when they are sick take comfort in familiar home settings. For some, their home is a refuge; it is like a fortress when adversity strikes. Often they are forced to leave this fortress when they are unable to care for themselves. It has been demonstrated that the trauma of leaving the familiar home setting may aggravate and accelerate their illness apart from becoming a burden to loved ones.

Gilead Health Care Inc provides flexible services to help your loved ones to remain at home and still receive all the care required to maximize recovery while still in control of their lifestyle. We work with each patient and their physician's tailor-made plan care which include nursing care, therapy or some other form of assistance with daily living.

Home care cost less than institutionalization and less intrusive. It is often covered by Medicare, Medicaid or Private Insurance.

Specialty Program – Behavioral Health Program

Gilead Health is pleased to announce the beginning of its new Behavioral Health Program. The Behavioral Health program demonstrates the on-going commitment to patients for providing exceptional care.

Gilead has embraced, as its core service delivery model, these three pillars of care:

Medical
Mental Health and
Spiritual. All services are coordinated with the Physician, by Gilead’s exceptional staff and a treatment plan is approved, that allows each patient the opportunity to remain in the comfort of their home.

Gilead’s core services have been extensively evaluated by CHAP (A National Accreditation Organization) and Gilead received the highest accreditation recognition and the distinct honor of having the first CHAP certified Behavioral Home Health Program in Austin. Achieving the first CHAP certified Behavioral Program in Austin, demonstrates Gilead’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care, and why it can be distinguished from other providers.

Our Behavioral program is designed to effectively coordinate and provide services during the transition from the hospital or other settings, to the home. This is done by coordinating all care with the physician and family, through our Medicare Certified Psychiatric Registered Nurses. Some of the Certified Psychiatric RN’s are Veterans, so we are uniquely qualified to provide support to our military and Veterans that may be confronted with behavioral issues.

The Behavioral program provides clinical guidance and teaching goals for each visit that are approved and coordinated with the physician. The nurse will assess behavioral signs and symptoms, safety, medication management (effectiveness and side effects) and provide specific behavioral management teaching.

The Behavioral program supports mental illness diseases: Depression, Bipolar, Dementia/ Alzheimer’s, Veteran PTSD &TBI, Schizophrenia, Personality Disorders, OCD, ADHD and others.

Gilead’s goal is to treat the whole person through its core service model that embraces the three pillars of care. Every staff member has exceptional clinical skill and commitment in assisting patients achieve the optimum level of stability, independence and well being, while remaining safety in the comfort of home.
