Heart disease has been the leading cause of death among Americans for over 15 years. It’s important to remember that stress is a crucial component that can jeopardize a healthy heart. Nurses encounter countless psychosocial risk factors that can lead to occupational stress – a type of stress that is work-related and affects many professionals daily.
As part of our strategic planning process, Independence Plus is pleased to announce a newly established mission and vision statement. Our updated mission and vision emphasizes the company’s longtime core values, while more effectively describing what WE strive to accomplish.
As we dive full force into 2016, we continue to be reminded of all the blessings of 2015. The success stories we share on this blog give us hope and inspiration for the New Year, and remind us about what really matters: Providing people with complex medical and respiratory needs the opportunity to live fulfilling lives at home.

Independence Plus is not just a staffing or equipment agency. Our niche is that we serve people with complex medical and respiratory needs – and we keep them out of the hospital by providing many “extras” that go beyond the standard fare. We created this simple, easy-to-read infographic to showcase some of what sets us apart from other homecare providers.
Last month, we welcomed CHAP (Community Health Accreditation Program) surveyors into our facilities and patient homes, and guess what they found? ZERO deficiencies in all three service lines!

With more than 25 years of experience in healthcare administration, Carol is passionate about helping people live meaningful and productive lives, regardless of their disease processes.

When our medically fragile, technology-dependent patients come home from a facility, it may be their first day home in weeks, months, and sometimes, even years. Our mission at Independence Plus is to set the standard for healthcare at home. This means keeping our patients healthy at home, so they can live normal, meaningful lives surrounded by the people they love.
