ABOUT US

Home health care — frequently referred to simply as "home health" — is care delivered directly to a patient's home. This type of care is provided by licensed medical professionals including nurses, therapists, and aides OR by our CDS (consumer directed services) program in which care can be delivered by a family member or close friend of the clients choice.

Home healthcare was created to help the patient recover, rest and receive treatment in the comfort of their own home. The services provided by home health care agencies were designed to help the patients regain and/or remain as independent as possible.

Home health care services are covered by Medicare and Medicaid as long as certain requirements are met.

In order to be eligible for Medicare or Medicaid coverage for home health care, you must meet the following requirements:

• Must be "homebound"

• Require part-time or intermittent skilled care to improve, maintain, prevent, or further slow the progression of an existing condition

• Be under the care of a medical doctor who prescribes home health care (you must have documentation of an in-person visit with said doctor either three months before starting home health care or within one month of when home health care begins)

Medicaid requirements are as follows:

• Must need assistance with personal care such as bathing, medication, cleaning etc

• Must have difficulty with day to day living duties
  

Medicaid offers you the option of one or two programs, In Home or CDS which is determined after your in person assessment by a state representative.

The consumers and their families can save by choosing home health care agencies over long-term care facilities. When it comes to paying for home health care services we accept Medicare and Medicaid along with other private insurance plans and self-pay (out of pocket) options.
