Home health care provides skilled health care services to homebound patients such as:

These services are provided to you wherever you call home.

You may be eligible to receive home health care under the Medicare benefit if:

• Your doctor prescribes home health care for you.

• You need either skilled nursing care or therapy (physical/occupational/speech therapy) on an intermittent basis.

• Your condition limits your ability to leave home, without assistance of a person or an asstive device.

Absolutely. We would love to be part of your care plan. Federal law states that patients have the right to choose their health care providers.

Your home health care is covered 100% by your tradtional Medicare. Your private insurance may also cover a percentage of your home health care.

The answer to that is no. Hospitalization is not a requirement for home heath care. Patients can also be referred by their doctor.

Yes there is a difference between home health care and private duty care.

Home health care requires an order from a doctor and provides you with skilled clinical services such as nursing, physical and occupational therapy. Private duty services include help with bathing, dressing, cleaning and meal preperation.

The frequency depends entirely on the patients needs and the plan of care created by your care team and your doctor. It can vary and be adjusted as necessary to provide you with the best home health care for your needs.
