Home Health Care
Home Health care is a wide range of health care services that are provided in the comfort of a patient’s home that has an illness or injury. Home Health care is usually less expensive, more
convenient, and just as effective as care one gets in a hospital, skilled nursing facility ( SNF ) or rehabilitation center.
Home Health care may include occupational, respiratory and physical therapy, speech therapy, and skilled nursing. It may involve helping older adults with activities of daily living ( ADLs ) such as bathing, dressing and eating. It can also include assistance with cooking, cleaning, other housekeeping and monitoring one’s medication regimen.
Who can benefit from Home Health ?
Home Health Care benefits older adults and seniors who wish to live independently as long as possible in their homes or residing communities, while receiving the help needed to manage a chronic condition or injury and help with their ADLs if needed to avoid an unnecessary hospitalization and can often delay the need for long term – nursing home care. It also is a great service for people who need continued recovery care at home following a hospital stay, illness, or injury.
Who pays for Home Health Care ?
Home Health care is covered by Medicare, and some private insurance providers for eligible patients who meet the criteria.
