Just as the name
implies, home health care is the ability to provide
services in the patient's home. Most experts agree
that the home is the best environment for healing.
View our section on services
for more information.
Patients can benefit
from home health care by alleviating the need for
extended stays in a hospital or a nursing home. |

People are often
amazed at the number of services that can be
performed in the home. We can send nurses, nursing
assistants, physical, speech and occupational
therapists in the home. We also have respite care
to allow caregivers a deserved break |

Home health care is covered by
Medicare (Either Part A or B), Medicaid and most private
insurance. If you don't meet the admitting criteria or are
opting for a service not covered by your insurer, you may
elect to pay "out of pocket" for services. Please
feel free to contact us if you have any questions at
956-316-3627 or our site.

The services you receive are generally prescribed by your
physician. In most cases, the doctor will recommend home
health care. A nurse is sent from the home health agency,
she along with the doctor, the patient, and the Agency,
determine what services would benefit the patient most.
Not all services need a
doctor's order. Anyone can opt for non-medical services,
usually a nursing assistant, for respite care, at any time.
The client simply calls the Agency and requests the services
needed.
