Keeps patients comfortable at home, where they typically recover faster with fewer complications
Reduces avoidable trips to the hospital
Supports caregivers and loved ones
Uses evidence-based clinical practices so you receive high-quality care backed by science

Who would benefit from home health care?

Have a chronic illness such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease or COPD
Are recovering from surgery, hospitalization or illness

When will my home health visits start?

A nurse or therapist will contact you by phone to schedule the first visit. If you're coming from a hospital or nursing facility, the initial visit will usually happen within 24 hours after you're discharged to make the transition easier.

What can I expect on the first home health care visit?

On the first visit, a nurse or therapist will conduct a thorough interview and professional assessment. Our assessment identifies areas where you may benefit from education and tools to manage your health. We partner with your doctor as well as family and caregivers to determine the best services for your needs. This team approach actively engages you and your caregivers in your health care and, if applicable, helps to make the transition from a hospital or nursing facility to your home much easier.

How often will my home health care visits be?

The frequency and type of home health visits are based on your personal plan of care. Your doctor may change your plan of care as necessary, increasing or decreasing the number of visits or services provided, in order to provide you with the best home health care for your needs.
