Patients & Caregivers
Are Home Health Services Right for You?
Whether you’re a caregiver or a patient, it may be hard to know when home health services can be beneficial. Home health services can address an individual’s needs after a hospitalization or throughout a chronic illness or injury.
Who Qualifies for Home Health?
Support through short-term and long-term conditions
Individuals needing nursing or therapy services on a part-time basis to improve, maintain, prevent or slow a health condition may qualify for home health services in the comfort of their own home. Specific conditions may include a recent surgery, medication changes, a new medical problem, falls or unplanned ER visits or hospital stays.
Patients must have a family doctor and be homebound. Situations which may qualify a person as homebound include driving restrictions following a surgery, use of a walker, extreme pain and shortness of breath.
