However, a staff member is on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week and may be reached by contacting the switchboard operator at St. Luke’s Hospital at (828) 894-3311.

How to Obtain Services?

Anyone may make a referral for service by simply contacting CHC with brief information about the person in need. We will help determine what service may be needed and assist with eligibility questions and getting started. Before we can begin services, the RN must visit the potential client to complete an assessment of needs and develop a plan of care for the in-home aides to follow. CHC does not discriminate against race, religion, sex or disability.

Who Pays?

This varies depending on the service needed and eligibility. None of our services are covered by Medicare, however, CHC does participate in the CAP/DA program which is covered by Medicaid. Some Polk County residents may be also eligible to receive grant assisted services.
