The AHC Program provides home health aides to assist recuperating patients to remain in their own homes following hospitalization. This short-term assistance can typically include light housekeeping, shopping for groceries and medications, meal preparation and planning, laundry, and personal hygiene in the form of baths (help with tub baths or showers and bed baths). Services not provided are moving heavy furniture or lifting more than forty pounds, washing windows, walls, etc., shopping for household items or clothing, dispensing medication, or performing tasks that require skilled nursing training, yard work, work outside the home, or seasonal cleaning.

The AHC Program is specifically designed to help preserve and restore individuals to independence as they regain strength and capability. A caseworker will initially assess the home situation, develop the plan of care and determine the frequency of services. Eligibility for this program is determined by current Clark County Social Service Guidelines.

The AHC Program is funded by the County and administered by Clark County Social Service. This program is available to residents of Clark County who are within established income limits.
