Home Health

What is Home Health?

istock 1029340310 cropped 500 Home Health provides care beyond hospitalization to assist patients in their recovery process. The home environment allows for a more relaxed manner of creating and building a patient relationship.

Prevention of further illness or injury is also an important part of Home Health services.

How do I obtain Home Health Services?

In order to obtain services, a referral can be made by a doctor, hospital, nursing home, insurance company, or other service agency. After the referral is made, a nurse or a therapist will come to your home to do a comprehensive assessment. A plan of treatment is then developed with you and your physician and further visits are scheduled.

For patients who have Medicare Part A, and meet criteria, 100% of all skilled care is covered. Many insurance companies have home care benefits available to their subscribers and eligibility and payment programs vary with coverage.
