These are specialized healthcare-related services that are provided by medical professionals in the comfort of your own home. Our services cover a wide range of medical, social and therapeutic treatments, as well as activities associated with daily living.

Generally, Medicare and/or Medicaid will cover the cost of home care for those patients over the age of 65 who meet either program's eligibility requirements. Private insurance companies, managed care organizations, CHAMPUS and worker's compensation may also pay for many of the services provided by a home care agency like ours. Those services not covered are considered "out of pocket" expenses and are the responsibility of the patient or another party.

Depending on your medical condition, your care may be provided by one of our trained medical professionals or a team of specialists on a part-time, intermittent, hourly or shift basis. Our staff includes registered and licensed practical nurses, therapists, social workers, dietitians and home care aides.

Licensed home care organizations such as ours provide a wide range of services. This includes catheter and tube care, cardiac and respiratory monitoring, diabetes management, wound care, in-home therapy and rehabilitation, and pain management.

Medicare has established guidelines to help patients determine if they qualify for home care services. Whether or not you are over 65, the qualification criteria can be helpful in determining if you need home care services. Those needing home care services should be:

• Unable to leave home without a considerable and taxing effort
• Under the care of a physician
• Receiving services under a plan of care established and periodically reviewed by a physician
• In need of skilled nursing care on an intermittent basis, physical therapy, speech-language pathology or have continuing need for occupational therapy
