Delano Home Health Care is licensed by the California Department of Public Health as a Home Health Agency. This means we can offer a higher level of care than the vast majority of our competitors, the kinds of in-home nursing services that personal care attendants cannot do.

In addition, we are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care. This is a voluntary extra step which signals that we adhere to stringent national standards for quality client outcomes, staff training and safety.
