Heritage Home Care Inc., a home health agency headquartered in Eufaula, Oklahoma, is celebrating its third anniversary of serving patients and families across eastern and southeastern Oklahoma. Founded in 2023 with a mission to bring high-quality, patient-centered care to rural areas, the agency has grown to 36 employees and operates a fleet of over 30 vehicles to serve 15 counties.

Today, Heritage Home Care provides a full range of home health services including skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social services, and home health aide support. The agency has also earned national recognition for patient experience, ranking in the top 5% nationally.
