Home health care is ideal for individuals who:

• Are recovering from surgery or hospitalization

• Have a new or worsening chronic illness (e.g., heart disease, diabetes, COPD)

• Are experiencing mobility or balance issues

• Need help managing medications or wound care

• Are at risk for frequent ER visits or hospital readmissions

• Require therapy to regain strength, speech, or daily function

• Prefer to receive care in the privacy and comfort of their own home

Services are typically ordered by a physician and may be covered by Medicare, Medi-Cal, private insurance, or other health plans for eligible patients.

1. Physician Referral: A doctor prescribes home health services based on the patient’s medical needs.

2. Initial Assessment: Our nurse or therapist visits the home to assess the patient and develop a personalized care plan.

3. Ongoing Care: Licensed professionals provide routine visits, monitor progress, and communicate with the physician.

4. Care Coordination: We work closely with the patient, family, and care team to ensure smooth transitions and positive outcomes.

• Recover in the comfort and familiarity of home

• Receive personalized, one-on-one clinical attention

• Reduce risk of hospital readmission

• Support independence and dignity

• Improve quality of life and safety

To qualify, a patient must:

• Be under the care of a physician

• Have a medical condition requiring skilled nursing or therapy services

• Be homebound, meaning leaving the home requires considerable effort or assistance

Eligibility requirements may vary based on insurance provider or coverage (e.g., Medicare, Medi-Cal, or private insurance). We’re happy to help verify your eligibility. 

“Homebound” doesn’t mean the patient can never leave home—it means they are unable to leave home without a considerable effort, supportive device, or help from another person. Brief and infrequent outings (such as medical appointments, religious services, or short walks) are still allowed (United States Department of Health and Human Services, 2004).

Your doctor or allowed practitioner documents that they’ve had a face-to-face encounter with you (like an appointment with your primary care doctor) within required timeframes and that the encounter was related to the reason you need home health care (United States Department of Health and Human Services, 2004).

Home health care usually begins with a referral from a physician, hospital, or healthcare provider. Once we receive the referral, we will contact you or your family to schedule an in-home assessment and begin services quickly. If you’re unsure where to start, call us and we’ll guide you through the process.

Yes. Medicare, Medi-Cal, and most private insurance plans cover eligible home health care services, provided certain conditions are met. Our intake and billing team can assist with benefit verification and authorization.
