With UHS Home Care
For patients of any age managing chronic conditions or recovering from an illness or injury, comfort often lies at home. UHS Home Care combines UHS Professional Home Care (PHC) and UHS Twin Tier Home Health (TTHH) to offer patients the chance to heal where they are most comfortable.
“We’re very patient focused,” said Stacey Clow, RN, clinical manager, UHS Twin Tier Home Health. “We’re focused on keeping the patients at home and keeping them safe.”
PHC and TTHH work together to care for patients throughout Greater Binghamton and surrounding counties, including Chenango, Delaware and Tioga. To support coordinated services, teams also see patients at PHC centers in Ithaca, Johnson City and Norwich.

How can I receive UHS Home Care services?
Getting started with UHS Home Care typically begins with a referral from a hospital, nursing home, rehabilitation center or primary care provider. Intake teams work closely with referring providers to gather medical information and confirm eligibility.
Once eligibility is confirmed, TTHH and PHC teams collaborate to assess patient needs, determine the best at-home setup, and assign a dedicated case manager to help coordinate care and answer any questions.
“We explain everything—what we can provide in the home, what each service is and what the providers will do with them in the home,” said Lauren DeWitt, intake supervisor, UHS Twin Tier Home Health.
As one of the few certified home care agencies in the area, everyone involved in PHC and TTHH ensures the needs of their community are not only met but also delivered with high-quality care patients and families can trust.
“This organization prioritizes integrity, compliance and human connection,” said Rosie Diorio, director of operations, UHS Home Care.
