FAQ

Does Medicare cover home health care?

Medicare may cover eligible part-time or intermittent skilled nursing and therapy at home when ordered by a clinician and provided by a Medicare-certified agency. It generally does not cover ongoing 24-hour home care or homemaker services alone.

What is the difference between home health care and hospice?

Home health typically supports recovery, chronic-condition management, or skilled care while a person continues receiving treatment. Hospice focuses on comfort and symptom management for people with a qualifying terminal illness who choose comfort-focused care.

What should I ask a home health agency before starting care?

Ask whether it provides the needed nursing or therapy discipline, accepts your insurance, serves your address, explains visit frequency and costs, and has an after-hours clinical contact.

When is home health care not enough?

Call 911 for severe breathing trouble, chest pain, stroke symptoms, uncontrolled bleeding, or other immediate threats. Home health is not a substitute for emergency or hospital-level treatment.
