Serve Link Home Care

History

We understand.  If you’ve experienced or have ever had someone struggling in their home to adjust to a change in medical condition or when faced with in-home rehabilitation from a surgery or injury, you know the frustration and pain that comes with the change in condition, confidence, and independence.  Serve Link Home Care specializes in helping our patients find their stride in living at home through that transition and remaining safely in their home as they progress.

We deliver.  In 2023, Serve Link Home Care celebrated its 50th anniversary in delivering direct patient and client care. While the resources and technology used to assist have changed through the decades, our standards to excellence of care and patient-focus remain the same:  

1.       Ensure patients experience a smooth transition from acute care to managing their health at home.

2.       Help our clients with in-home services so they may live well at home.

3.       Connect our clients and caregivers to resources so they can maintain independence at home.

We care.  Serve Link Home Care was founded on the bedrock of providing excellent quality of care to aid our rural community’s citizens to remain in their home. Our team lives and works in the 11-county rural region of North Central Missouri we serve. Simply put: Our clients are our neighbors. We understand that those we professionally assist remain an important part of the fabric of each community, to be treated with kindness, compassion, dignity, and respect.

​

It’s in our name. It’s our reason for being.  Serve Link Home Care is your link to living well at home. 

History:

Serve Link Home Care was founded in the 1970’s as Medicare and Medicaid policies were being developed.  Before policies changed, medical nursing care and rehabilitative services in the home were only available to a few and rarely to those in rural areas.  New policies allowed for health services to be brought to the patient in their home.

Our founder’s understood, as do today’s Board of Directors, the human need for independence and to stay safely at home but also the medical benefits of remaining and recovering in a familiar home environment. The organization became an umbrella for a regional partnership of county public health agencies to help address the comprehensive picture of having the community’s citizens age in place. Since its inception, Serve Link Home Care has become the largest, well-established home care provider in North Central Missouri. 

We uniquely understand home care in our rural communities and the strides that quality of care has gained in service to our clients at home and their caregivers.  While our focus has expanded to serve all ages and medical modalities, Serve Link Home Care’s non-profit model created still exists today and allows for a network of professionals working together to bring modern technologies and management capabilities to support our direct patient care.
