You or a loved one may benefit from home health care if you:
• Have a chronic illness such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease or COPD
• Are recovering from surgery, hospitalization or illness
• Need help to get out of the house
• Frequently visit your doctor or the hospital
• Need education to manage your condition effectively
• Are at risk of severe illness due to COVID-19 (age 65+ or any age with an underlying condition)

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.

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.

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.
