Frequently Asked Questions

Home healthcare is professional medical care provided in a patient's home. It includes a wide range of health services that can be as effective as the care you receive in a hospital or skilled nursing facility. The goal is to treat an illness or injury, helping you recover, regain your independence, and become as self-sufficient as possible.

Generally, to qualify for home healthcare services, you must be under a doctor's care, have a need for skilled nursing care or therapy services, and have difficulty leaving your home without assistance. Our team can help determine your eligibility and work with your physician to establish a care plan.

Many insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover home healthcare services when they are medically necessary and prescribed by a physician. Coverage varies depending on your specific insurance plan. Our administrative team can help verify your insurance coverage and explain any out-of-pocket costs.

The frequency of visits depends on your individual care plan as prescribed by your physician. Some patients may require daily visits, while others may need visits several times a week. Your care plan will be tailored to your specific health needs and adjusted as your condition changes.

During the initial visit, a registered nurse will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your health needs, home environment, and support system. They will review your medical history, medications, and doctor's orders. This information will be used to develop your personalized care plan. The nurse will also explain the services that will be provided and answer any questions you may have.

We encourage family involvement in the care process. Our healthcare professionals will provide education and training to family members who wish to participate in care activities. Family support is often crucial to successful home healthcare outcomes.

All our healthcare professionals undergo rigorous screening, including background checks, license verification, and reference checks. They are required to have appropriate certifications and licenses for their positions. Additionally, we provide ongoing training and education to ensure our team stays current with the latest healthcare practices and technologies.

We offer private pay options for services that may not be covered by insurance. Our team can provide information about costs and payment plans. We also may be able to suggest community resources that could help with additional needs.
