Home health care is just what it sounds like: health care services delivered in the comfort of your own home. Nurses, therapists and aides visit the patient in the home to help treat an illness, injury or chronic condition. The goal is to TREAT an illness or injury, helping the patient get better, regain their independence, and become as self-sufficient as possible.

In order to be eligible for home health you must be homebound, you must be under the care of a doctor, you must be getting services under a plan of care created and reviewed regularly by a doctor and most importantly a doctor must certify that you are in need of clinical services.

Home Health does not cover:
24 hours care at home
Meals delivered to your home
Homemaker Services (shopping, cleaning, and laundry), when this is the only care you need
Custodial Services (bathing, dressing, or using the bathroom), when this is the only care you need.
