The clinical staff of Anova have been providing skilled nursing, home healthcare services and hospice care to members of this area since 2004. "Anova's Hospice and Home Care Services have seen an increase of patients due to great relationships with physicians and senior care facilities within the Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland counties" says Mr. Desai. The company started its operation in 2004, 4 years after President and former management consultant, Nainesh Desai's mother died from cancer. During his mother's illness, Mr. Desai realized the importance of quality homecare and hospice and became increasingly passionate about this as he investigated starting a compassionate, world-class agency – ANOVA.

The company's services currently include three business lines: home hospice care, skilled home health care and in-home non-skilled care. One-hundred and sixty employees care for patients over a 7-county area of Western Pennsylvania. Anova clinicians and techs are trained to provide expert care for individuals who have suffered illnesses such as

  • Cancer
  • Stroke
  • Heart Disease
  • Lung Disease
  • Neurological Diseases
  • Orthopedic Injuries
  • Surgery
  • Diabetes

Simply knowing the capabilities and level of compassionate care that is provided by the Anova staff, gives you another choice for these services. Typically, hospital staff or physicians recommend their preferred agencies. However, you have the right to choose an agency that routinely provides care to members in your community.
