WHAT IS HOME HEALTH CARE

Home Health Care is skilled care delivered directly to a patient's home. This type of care is provided by licensed medical professionals, including nurses, therapists, and home health aides for the purpose of treating or managing an illness, injury, or medical condition. Home Health Care services can be delivered to the patient's place of residence (independent living, assisted living, long-term nursing facility, or residential care facility, etc.)

Services that may be covered include medical services such as Skilled Nursing, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy, as well as non-medical services, such as Medical Social Worker, or assistance with daily living.

What Does "Homebound" Mean?

Home health care is available to any patient who needs it, but in order for it to be covered by Medicare, the patient must be deemed "homebound." Homebound simply means that the patient's condition prevents them from being able to safely leave the home without assistance from others or assistive devices (e.g. canes, walkers, crutches, or wheelchairs).

In most cases, patients are still considered homebound even if they leave the home as needed for medical treatments that cannot be provided in-home. Brief and occasional non-medical absences may also be allowed, such as going to church, the beauty shop, or special family events.
