WHAT IS HOME CARE NURSING & THERAPY SERVICES?
“Home care” is a simple phrase that encompasses a wide range of health and social services. These services are delivered at home to recovering, disabled, chronically or terminally ill persons who are considered home bound, requiring home care services, in need of medical, nursing, social, or therapeutic treatment and/or assistance with the essential activities of daily living.
Generally, home care is appropriate when a patient meets homebound status criteria and needs ongoing care that cannot easily or effectively be provided solely by family and friends. More and more older people, choosing to live independent, non-institutionalized lives, receive home care services as their physical capabilities diminish. Patients with a qualifying diagnosis can receive quality care in the comfort of their home.
CERTIFIED HOME HEALTH AGENCY
The term home health agency often indicates that a home care provider is Medicare certified. A Medicare-certified agency has met federal minimum requirements for patient care and management and therefore can provide Medicare and Medicaid home health services. Individuals requiring skilled home care services usually receive their care from a home health agency. Due to regulatory requirements, services provided by these agencies are highly supervised and controlled. Some agencies deliver a variety of home care services through physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, homehealth aids. Other home health agencies limit their services to nursing and one or two other specialties. For cases in which an individual requires care from more than one specialist, home health agencies coordinate a caregiving team to administer services that are comprehensive and efficient. Personnel are assigned according to the needs of each patient. Home health agencies recruit and supervise their personnel; as a result, they assume liability for all care.
