BSN/RN-Led Care
Skilled Nursing Home Care You Can Count On
Every care plan at Maddox Home Health is personally managed by a BSN-prepared Registered Nurse. That level of oversight matters.

Sheena Pittman holds active ACLS and BLS certifications and brings acute care experience from Southeast Health directly into your home. Whether you need ongoing chronic disease management at home or short-term recovery support after surgery, you receive the same standard of care you would expect in a clinical setting, just in a familiar and comfortable environment.
What We Treat
Medical Home Health Services for Complex Needs
Our medical home health services are built around patients who need more than basic assistance. We specialize in wound care management for post-amputation patients and those recovering from back surgery, including advanced Wound Vac management and daily surgical dressing changes. We also provide IV medication administration and pharmacy coordination for patients managing complex post-discharge medication regimens. For those living with diabetes, kidney disease, or other chronic conditions, our chronic disease management at home includes nutritional meal planning, medication compliance support, and ongoing clinical monitoring during every visit. Even routine tasks like helping with laundry become an opportunity for an RN to observe subtle changes in a patient's condition that a non-medical caregiver would miss.
Recovery at Home
Post-Operative Home Care That Fills the Gaps
One of the most overlooked risks in post-surgical recovery is the days when traditional home health agencies are not scheduled to visit. Many insurance-approved agencies come only three days a week, leaving patients without clinical oversight for the remaining four days. Maddox Home Health was built with this gap in mind. Our post-operative home care is available on the days your primary agency does not visit, providing continuity of care that reduces the risk of complications, infections, and emergency readmissions. We also support passive and active range of motion exercises to help patients rebuild strength and prevent stagnation during recovery. If you are in Dothan, Ashford, Enterprise, Geneva, Bainbridge, Donalsonville, or the surrounding areas, we are ready to step in and keep your recovery moving forward.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Clinical Care
What types of wounds can Maddox Home Health manage at home?
Maddox Home Health provides wound care management for a range of post-surgical and chronic wound needs. This includes daily dressing changes for patients recovering from back surgery, wound care for amputations, and advanced Wound Vac management. All wound care is performed by Sheena Pittman, a BSN-prepared Registered Nurse with 16 years of clinical experience and an acute care background from Southeast Health. Having an RN handle wound care at home means subtle signs of infection or healing complications are caught early, reducing the risk of a hospital readmission.Can Maddox Home Health administer IV medications at home?
Yes. Maddox Home Health offers IV medication administration as part of its clinical home health services. This is particularly valuable for post-operative patients discharged with complex medication regimens. Sheena Pittman, BSN, RN, holds active ACLS and BLS certifications and is qualified to manage IV therapy safely in a home setting. She also coordinates with pharmacies to help patients stay on track with their discharge medications and monitors each patient's clinical response to treatment.How does Maddox support patients managing chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease?
For patients managing chronic conditions, Maddox Home Health provides ongoing clinical monitoring during every visit, not just during dedicated medical appointments. This includes watching for signs of fluid retention, cognitive changes, or other indicators that a condition may be shifting. Services also include specialized meal planning for diabetic and high-blood-pressure diets, medication compliance support, and coordination around dialysis needs. Because every visit is conducted by a BSN/RN, patients receive attentive oversight that goes well beyond what a non-medical caregiver can offer.What if my current home health agency only visits a few days a week?
Many insurance-approved home health agencies visit patients only three days per week, leaving several days without clinical oversight. Maddox Home Health is specifically designed to fill those gaps by providing care on the days your primary agency does not visit. This continuity is especially important during post-operative recovery, when complications can develop quickly between scheduled visits. Patients in Dothan, Blakely, and surrounding cities in Alabama and Georgia can reach out to arrange coverage on those off-days.Does Maddox Home Health accept insurance for clinical care?
Maddox Home Health works with a credentialing agency to facilitate payments through major insurance carriers including Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicaid, and Medicare. Because coverage can vary by plan and service type, it is best to reach out directly to discuss your specific situation. For patients without coverage or for services not covered by insurance, visits start at approximately $50, making professional RN-led home care a more affordable option compared to assisted living or repeated hospital stays.What credentials does the nurse at Maddox Home Health hold?
Maddox Home Health is led by Sheena Pittman, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and is a licensed Registered Nurse. She maintains active certifications in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support and Basic Life Support, and has 16 years of nursing experience spanning long-term care and acute hospital settings, including Southeast Health. All staff are HIPAA certified through Gusto compliance training. This combination of credentials means patients receive care that meets the same standards expected in a formal medical setting.Does Maddox Home Health serve areas outside of Dothan, Alabama?
Yes. While Dothan, AL and Blakely, GA are the primary service areas, Maddox Home Health also serves patients in Ashford, Enterprise, Geneva, and Ozark in Alabama, as well as Bainbridge, Donalsonville, and Fort Gaines in Georgia. The service footprint covers the tri-state corridor, though Florida is currently an excluded territory. If you are unsure whether your location falls within the service area, you are welcome to call or text to confirm availability before scheduling a visit.How do range of motion exercises fit into the clinical care services?
Passive and active range of motion exercises are included as part of the clinical care model at Maddox Home Health. These are particularly important for patients recovering from surgery, stroke, or other conditions that limit mobility. Passive range of motion involves the caregiver gently moving the patient's limbs to maintain joint flexibility and circulation, while active range of motion encourages the patient to participate in their own movement. Both approaches help prevent stiffness, muscle atrophy, and circulation problems during recovery, and all support is guided by the RN on every visit.
