What Is Home Health Care?
Home health care is skilled medical care provided in your home by licensed professionals — nurses, therapists, and aides — instead of in a hospital or facility. It's designed for people recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, or regaining strength and independence after a hospital stay.
Unlike hospice, home health care is focused on recovery and improvement. The goal is to help you heal, regain function, and get back to your daily life — with a full medical team supporting you every step of the way.
What's Included in Home Health Care
Skilled Nursing
Wound care, medication management, injections, monitoring chronic conditions
Physical Therapy
Rebuilding strength, mobility, and balance after surgery, illness, or injury
Occupational Therapy
Regaining the skills for daily living, like dressing, bathing, and cooking
Speech Therapy
Support for communication or swallowing difficulties, often after a stroke or illness
Every plan is different, because every patient is different. Your care team works directly with your doctor to build a plan around your actual needs — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Medical Social Work
Help navigating resources, insurance, and the emotional side of recovery
Home Health Aide Services
Hands-on help with personal care and daily activities
Home health care is available to patients who meet a few general conditions:
-
A physician has certified that home health care is medically necessary
-
You are considered "homebound" (leaving home requires significant effort or assistance)
-
You need skilled, intermittent care — such as nursing or therapy — rather than 24/7 supervision
-
A doctor has established and regularly reviews your plan of care
If you're not sure whether you or a loved one qualifies, that's a normal question — and one our team can answer in a single phone call, often faster than you'd expect.
How to Qualify for Home Health Care
How Home Health Care is Paid For
Home health care is typically covered by:
-
Medicare — for patients who meet eligibility requirements, Medicare Part A and/or Part B covers home health services with little to no out-of-pocket cost
-
Medicaid — most state Medicaid programs include home health coverage
-
Private Insurance — many private plans cover home health care in some form; coverage varies by plan
Before care begins, our team reviews your specific coverage with you and explains exactly what's included — in plain language, not fine print.
