Home health care is professional medical and therapeutic care delivered in the comfort of your home. Services are coordinated with your physician and can include skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, home health aide assistance, and medical social services — all without needing to visit a facility.

Care at home offers many advantages: it is delivered in the privacy and comfort of your own home; it is coordinated directly with your physician(s); it may help prevent hospitalization or re-hospitalization; and it allows patients to leave the hospital sooner and recover more comfortably in familiar surroundings.

Referrals should come from:

• a primary care doctor
• a hospitalist or discharging hospital physician
• a surgeon
• an NP or PA managing the patient’s care
• sometimes a skilled nursing facility or rehab discharge team, though they usually coordinate it through the treating clinician who signs the order  

You can be referred by your doctor, family and friends, insurance companies, nursing homes, hospitals, and rehab units. You can also refer yourself directly to us. We make the process easy and will work with your medical team to gather the necessary documentation.

We accept regular Medicare. Our team will explain your coverage and will bill your insurance directly so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork or payment.

Once we receive a referral and the necessary physician orders, we typically begin services very quickly — often within 24–48 hours. We understand that timely care is essential to recovery, and our intake team works efficiently to get services started as soon as possible.

Absolutely. Also Home Healh Care does not discriminate against any individual or group on the basis of race, color, creed, gender, national origin, religion, age, handicap, marital status, sexual orientation. Every patient deserves compassionate, high-quality care.

Medicare considers a patient homebound when both of the following conditions are met:

1. You require assistance to leave home — This may include help from another person or the use of medical equipment such as a walker, wheelchair, or crutches. You may also qualify if your doctor determines that leaving home could worsen your condition.
2. Leaving home is difficult and infrequent — Due to your condition, you are generally unable to leave home easily and do so only on a limited basis.

Your physician must evaluate your condition and formally determine your homebound status. If you qualify for Medicare’s home health benefit, your doctor will create a plan of care confirming your eligibility and must review and recertify it every 60 days.

Being homebound does not mean you are completely confined to your home. You may still leave for medical appointments, religious services, or licensed adult day care. Occasional short trips—such as family events, funerals, or even a visit to a barber or salon—will not affect your homebound status.
