Home health services
Six disciplines, one plan of care. The physician orders what the patient needs; a registered nurse coordinates every visit and reports back.
Skilled nursing
Registered nurses and LVNs for medication management, IV therapy, disease teaching and post-hospital monitoring — under your physician's plan of care.
About skilled nursingPhysical therapy
Licensed physical therapists who restore strength, balance and mobility after surgery, stroke, a fall or a hospital stay — in the home where it will be used.
About physical therapyOccupational therapy
Occupational therapists who rebuild the daily skills that keep a person independent: dressing, bathing, cooking, and moving safely around their own home.
About occupational therapySpeech therapy
Speech-language pathologists for swallowing safety, speech and language after stroke, and cognitive-communication support for patients with dementia or brain injury.
About speech therapyMedical social services
Medical social workers who help families navigate the system: community resources, caregiver support, advance directives, and the practical problems that get in the way of recovery.
About medical social servicesHome health aide
Certified home health aides who assist with bathing, grooming, dressing and mobility — supervised by a registered nurse as part of the skilled plan of care.
About home health aideWhat home health is — and is not
Home health is skilled medical care ordered by a physician for a patient who is homebound: intermittent visits by nurses, therapists, social workers and supervised aides, with a plan of care that is reviewed every 60 days. Medicare covers it in full for eligible patients.
It is not around-the-clock care, and it is not hourly non-medical caregiving. If your family needs those, we will say so on the first call and point you to the right kind of provider.
