What Patients and Families Should Know
Who May Be Eligible?
Medicare eligibility generally considers the need for skilled services, physician oversight, and applicable homebound requirements. Every patient is reviewed individually.
Preparing for the First Visit
Keep medication lists, discharge instructions, physician information, emergency contacts, and questions available for the clinical assessment.
Your Role in Recovery
Follow the plan of care, practice recommended exercises, report important changes, and ask the care team when instructions are unclear.
Safety at Home
Clear walking paths, use prescribed mobility equipment, keep important numbers available, and follow clinician recommendations for a safer environment.
When to Seek Emergency Help
Home health is not emergency care. Call 911 for severe breathing problems, chest pain, unconsciousness, major bleeding, or another immediate emergency.
