Who would benefit from home health services?
Anyone that has had a decline in health, mobility or is recovering post surgery and has become homebound would benefit from home health services. Home health care is a treatment option available to patients who do not require the full-time care of a hospital or extended care facility, but are under a physician’s care for an acute illness or an exacerbation of a chronic or terminal illness.
Reasons to initiate a home health referral:
- A recent discharge from a hospital or skilled nursing facility
- An acute episode from a chronic illness or condition
- A rehabilitation need due to a decrease in mobility and endurance
- New medication management and education
