Our Home Health Services

Eligibility & Coverage

Common questions about being homebound, your care plan, and insurance coverage.

Homebound status: Can I still leave home?

Yes. Medical appointments, religious services, and short or infrequent outings do not automatically disqualify you. What matters is whether you continue to meet the homebound criteria.

Your Care Plan and Coverage

Each patient receives services based on medical necessity and an individualized plan. You may need one discipline or several working together.

Medicare home health provides intermittent skilled care. It does not cover continuous, around-the-clock home care or housekeeping unrelated to your care plan. Medicare Advantage and other insurance plans may have network and authorization requirements.

For Medicare, occupational therapy generally cannot establish initial eligibility by itself, but it may continue after eligibility has been established through another qualifying skilled service.

Skilled Nursing

Support for your health and recovery

Our nurses assess your condition, provide ordered treatments, and teach you and your caregivers how to manage your care between visits.

Nursing services may include:

• Health assessments: Monitoring symptoms, vital signs, and changes that need follow-up with your healthcare provider.
• Medication education: Reviewing your medication list and explaining prescribed use, precautions, and possible side effects.
• Chronic condition management: Education and monitoring for conditions such as diabetes, heart failure, and respiratory disease.
• Wound care: Assessing wounds, performing ordered dressing changes, and teaching skin protection and infection warning signs.
• Recovery after hospitalization or surgery: Reviewing discharge instructions and helping you understand your care needs.
• Caregiver training: Teaching safe care techniques and when to contact the office or seek medical attention.

Your nurse communicates relevant findings to your healthcare provider and helps coordinate changes to your care.

Rehabilitation Therapies

Care that supports mobility, independence, and daily function.

Physical Therapy
