What kind of patients receive home health care?

Home health care is designed to help the patient rest, recover, and receive treatment for a variety of acute and chronic conditions, including:

• Alzheimer’s Disease
• Chronic kidney disease
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Recovery from illness or surgery
• Chronic conditions or injuries
• Major Multiple Trauma
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Parkinson’s Disease

Home health care is available to any patient in need, but the patient must be deemed “homebound” by their physician to qualify for coverage under Medicaid.

A patient is homebound when their condition prevents them from being able to safely leave the home without assistance from others or assistive devices like canes, crutches, walkers, or wheelchairs. A patient is still considered homebound if they leave the home for necessary medical treatments that cannot be provided in-home. Additionally, occasional non-medical absences (attending church or a family event, visiting a hairdresser, etc.) are permitted.

Depending on the patient’s needs, frequency and type of care will vary, with some patients requiring daily care while others only requiring a short weekly visit.

For home health care services to begin, a physician orders home health care for a patient and works with our home health team to develop a detailed care plan. An initial consultation with the patient will be scheduled to assess the patient’s needs and to develop a comprehensive plan for treatment. The evaluating clinician from each ordered service will evaluate the patient from their discipline-specific area of expertise and collaborate with all other clinicians to coordinate the patient’s specific treatment plan.

Home health care professionals serve an important function as a liaison between the patient, the patient’s family, and the patient’s doctor. To ensure continuity of care, home health professionals log every visit and provide updates on the patient’s condition to the doctor as needed.

What are the responsibilities of a home health specialist?

Adapting the home

Part of a home health care specialist’s role is to assess the living space to consider when adjustments or equipment could be beneficial to the patient.

Home health care professionals account for accessibility by measuring the width of doorways, the heights of countertops, and the distances between utilities. They determine what can be safely navigated by the patient and update the plan as appropriate in order to ensure that the patient’s home is set up in the safest way possible.

Patient care

A patient may also enlist our custom care services for assistance with daily living:

• Activities, companionship, respite care and much more
• Light housekeeping and laundry
• Meal Prep
• Mobility, transfer, and positioning assistance
• Transportation

Our telehealth platform, Brooks Connect, and our alert system, Brooks Belle, allow you to easily collaborate with colleagues, increase monitoring of and engagement with the patient, and ultimately reduce the risk of re-hospitalization.

The benefits of home health care for seniors has been well-documented and includes:

• Faster recuperation and recovery from illness or injury
• Improved independence over time
• Maintaining or improving of current condition or level of function
• Regaining of self-sufficiency in the home
