Haven Specialty Home Care provides services to former energy workers that are eligible for care under the EEOICPA. These services include Skilled Nursing Care, Case Management and Aide Care.

What is the EEOICPA?

The EEOICPA (Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act) under the United States Department of Labor has a free (to eligible energy workers) program to completely cover the medical costs of energy workers such as uranium miners, millers, and haulers or beryllium workers from the Cold War era.

This program also provides monetary compensation for damages suffered. Illnesses include, but are not limited to radiation-induced cancers and beryllium-related illness.

Haven Specialty Home Care's Mission statement:

Haven Specialty Home Care is committed to improving the health care delivery system in its area. To do this, it is necessary to recognize the needs of the community and to act toward minimizing the personally devastating effects of illness, accident or disability on the patient and family.

We note here that our pledge to the aged or disabled patient is to defend and acknowledge the basic integrity of the individual and to aid in the reacquisition of their productive places in society.

The necessity of hospitalization for all services to the patient is an ideology which has passed its time. The convenience, comfort and security of one's own home have come to the forefront of progressive medical service delivery. We dedicate ourselves and our Agency to the provision of services, which will accomplish the mutual ends of rehabilitation and the attention of self-respect in an atmosphere conducive to independence.
