What is Home Health Care?

"Home care is a simple phrase that encompasses a broad range of health and social services. Our services are provided by professional care providers in your home to assist with many medical and general health needs. We are available to respond to your needs and concerns with the full medical support only a hospital based home care can offer.

Home Health services allow you to be in the comfort and privacy of your own home while we provide medical care. This service is provided for those who may require extended medical care or are recovering from an accident, illness, or surgery.

In home care gives the patient and their family the opportunity for independence while recovering in the familiar surroundings of their home. Home care also allows patients to preserve personal dignity and often improves the individual's emotional and physical well being.

Home Care Eligibility and Insurance

Rangely Home Health sees patients based on a physician's order. The requirements for service are that the patient be:

• Home-bound (unable for health reasons to leave home without the assistance of another person).
• In need of care on an intermittent basis from one of our primary services which include nursing and physical therapy.
• The patient's condition must be deemed changeable. That is the physician is expecting either an improvement or a decline in the patient's health status.
• Under the care of a physician who has ordered home care.

Home Health care is generally covered by Medicare, Workers' Compensation, and most private insurance companies. If you have questions about admission or eligibility criteria, please feel free to contact the Home Health staff.
