Your Go-To Home Health Care Company

To be homebound means:

• Leaving your home takes a considerable and taxing effort
• Leaving your home isn’t recommended because of your condition
• Your condition keeps you from leaving your home without help (such as using a wheelchair or walker, needing special transportation, or getting help from another person)

A person may leave home for medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, such as attending religious services. You can still get home health care if you attend adult day care, but you would get the home care services in your home.

Medicare Parts A and B cover part-time or intermittent skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, home health aide services, medical social work services, durable medical equipment (such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, oxygen, and walkers) and medical supplies, and other services.

This is the written doctors’ orders for home health services and treatments based on the patient’s condition. The plan of care is developed by the doctor, the home health team, and the patient. The home health team keeps the doctor up-to-date on the patient’s condition and updates the plan of care as needed. It is the doctor, and not the home health team, that authorizes what services are needed and for how long.

The patient has the right to be treated by the physician of his/her choice, the right to be informed in advance of expected outcomes, barriers to treatment, and any changes in the care to be furnished, and the unrestricted right to communicate with his/her physician and any other persons responsible for the planning for his/her care.

The patient will be treated with dignity, respect, and personal integrity without regard to race, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, or marital status. The patient has the right to make his/her own choices regarding personal affairs, care, benefits, and services.

We take pride in our ability to provide client/patient care in accordance with the professional staff's State Practice Act for acceptable standards of practice. We also take pride in our ability to plan, support, and coordinate the provision of client/caregiver education, activities, and resources specific to the client's assessed needs, abilities, and readiness to learn as appropriate to the care provided to promote and maintain health and improve outcomes.
