|
What is Home Health? |
|
Home Health is intermittent care provided in the comfort and security of your own home. Our qualified team of health care professionals work with you and your physician to establish a plan of care
appropriate for your specific health needs to promote and enhance independence and security. |
|
Who is Eligible? |
|
To qualify for Medicare home health benefits, you must be under the care of a
physician. A physician must certify that you are in need of intermittent medical
care (nursing,physical therapy, speech therapy or occupational therapy) and that
as a result of your condition you can only leave home occasionally or for short
periods of time. Housecalls Home Health offers services to patients who are in
need of intermittent medical care, regardless of race, color, national origin,
handicap or age.
