Home health services
Arthritis, a disability, or simply age can make it hard to take care of yourself. Our home health aides help with the personal care that gets difficult, such as bathing, grooming, eating, moving around the house, and the exercises in the care plan. Aides work under the direction of the nurse or therapist on the case.
What's included
- Personal careHelp with bathing, grooming, and dressing.
- MobilityHelp getting in and out of bed and moving around the home safely.
- EatingHelp at mealtimes when the patient needs it.
- ExercisesSupport with the exercises the therapist has set.
How it goes
Added to the plan
The nurse or therapist decides aide visits are needed and adds them to the plan of care.
Aide visits
The aide visits on a set schedule and helps with the tasks in the plan.
Supervision
The nurse or therapist checks in on the aide's work and adjusts the plan as needed.
Aide visits come with skilled care
Medicare covers home health aide visits only when the patient is also getting skilled care, such as nursing or therapy. Aide visits are part-time.
If you only need help at home
If you're looking for help with daily living alone, without skilled care, call (818) 717-7181 and we'll tell you what's covered.
