Today we’re talking about the basics of home health care.
Home health care is medical care provided wherever your home may be. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services say it’s ‘usually less expensive, more convenient, and just as effective as care you get in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.’
But what is home health care all about? Here’s how it happens:
• First, your doctor decides that you need medical care at home. Perhaps you’re returning from the hospital after an illness or surgery. Or you’re already home, but you need a little more help staying well and strong.
• Next, your home health care provider works with your doctor to order the special services you need and assembles your care team.
• Then, nurses and therapists come to your house. You’ll learn new exercises, skills, and facts that can help you better manage a chronic illness or get back on your feet.
• And with the help of your home health care team, you can meet your health goals and stay out of the hospital, safe and independent at home. That’s all for this segment.
