FAQ

What is Home Health Care?

Home health care allows the elderly and medically dependent individuals live in their own home with the assistance of a private care professional. Depending on their medical condition, home health care can help seniors to live independent fuller lives and avoid the need for a nursing home. In-home care can involve a variety of services from different types of health care professionals.

What can caregivers do for me?

Your favorite chair. Your dishes. Your pets. The view out your window. It’s always easier to take your medicines, complete your physical therapy exercises—and sleep—in your own space. Our friendly professionals provide services in the comfort of your home for as long as you need it. This might mean a few days or weeks or several months, including night time and weekend visits.

Where do I start?

Your home health care services will start with your doctor. They will write a prescription for the types of home health services you need. The prescription will also state how often professionals will visit your home. Once you have your prescription you or your physician can contact Assisted and we will take care of the rest. To make sure there are no surprises we will verify your insurance benefits prior to the beginning of your in-home care.

Do I really need Nursing Services?

One on one nursing services keep you or your loved ones at home by ensuring the care plan set forth by your doctor is followed implicitly in the comfort of your home. Nurses can identify signs and symptoms of change in condition and report them early to reduce negative side effects. A nurse’s ability to administer medication to control symptoms can help to avoid hospitalization and permanent damage. Having an in-home nurse can ensure proper nutrition and dietary needs.
