WHEN WILL MY HOME HEALTH VISITS START?
A nurse or therapist will call to schedule your first visit.
If you’re being discharged from a hospital or nursing facility, your initial home health visit is going to take place within 24- 48 hours to ensure a smooth and timely transition to care at home.
IS HOSPITALIZATION A REQUIREMENT TO RECEIVE HOME HEALTH CARE?
No. Hospitalization is not a requirement to receive home healthcare. Many patients are referred by their doctor
IS HOSPITALIZATION A REQUIREMENT TO RECEIVE HOME HEALTH CARE?
Homebound means your condition is such that:
-
You’re normally unable to safely leave your home without help from others and the aid of assistive devices (such as crutches, canes, walkers or wheelchairs).
-
Leaving home would require considerable and taxing effort. You can generally leave home as often as you need for medical treatment that cannot be provided in the home and still be considered homebound. You’re also allowed brief absences from the home for some non-medical reasons, such as an occasional trip to the barber or beauty shop, to attend church, or for unique family events (like a graduation or wedding). Such trips must be infrequent and require a considerable and taxing effort.
HOW LONG WILL I RECEIVE HEALTHCARE?
Your doctor will determine the number of visits you receive, how often the visits should occur and ho long they should last, based on your needs and health status.
