“What makes Martha’s Hands unique or we attribute our success to is we provide compassion and excellence in home care,” Hedrick said. “We provide compassion and excellence in home care. It is a mission-based company.”

Hedrick had it written in the mission statement from the very beginning that it would provide a care that is a service to God’s children, which comes from the Sister’s of Mercy.

“Excellence comes from the model of care we provide,” Hedrick said. “We have a nurse case manager who meets with the client to do a consultation to understand what the client’s care and needs are. Skilled nursing can develop a customized service plan and makes sure they are overseeing the plan of the client and has the ability to interact with the client’s doctors or other health care providers on a professional level.”
