Why Novela Home Health
Care that reads your story
Every person who walks through a hospital door arrives carrying a story — of family, of struggle, of resilience, and of hope. At Novela Home Health, we believe that healing doesn’t happen in spite of that story; it happens because of it. Founded by Fatou, a healthcare professional who witnessed firsthand the gap between discharge and true recovery, Novela was built on a simple conviction: that the people of Columbus, Ohio deserve home health care as rich and diverse as this city itself.
We are not a clipboard-and-checklist agency. We are a care team that listens. When our nurses, therapists, and aides cross your threshold, they bring not only clinical expertise but genuine curiosity about you — your routines, your preferences, your goals. Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, or navigating life with a developmental disability, Novela meets you exactly where you are — at home, where healing is most possible.
Columbus is a city of neighborhoods, languages, and traditions. We are proud to reflect that. Our care team is built to serve every community within this city with the cultural humility and linguistic sensitivity each family deserves. Because recovery is not merely a medical event — it is the beginning of a new chapter.

Columbus is one of America’s most diverse cities. Our team speaks your language, honors your culture, and meets you where you are.

What families are saying.
Real stories from families and professionals who trust us every day.
"After my mother's hip replacement, we were terrified about bringing her home. Novela changed everything. The registered nurse came within two days, explained the entire care plan to our family, and made my mom feel like a person — not a patient. She went from barely walking to making her own breakfast within six weeks. I cannot say enough about the compassion and professionalism of this team."
"I was scared to go home from the hospital. I didn't know how I would manage. But my aide — she spoke to me in my language, she understood my culture, and she treated me with such respect. Every visit, I felt less afraid and stronger. Novela gave me my confidence back. I feel like myself again."
"As a hospital discharge planner, I need home health agencies I can trust completely. Novela Home Health stands out for their responsiveness, thorough clinical documentation, and genuine commitment to patients. Every time I refer a patient to Novela, I know they will be in excellent hands. The communication with our physicians has been exceptional."
