So You Can Get the Care You Deserve
Qualification and Eligibility for Home Health Care
To ensure we provide the best possible support, certain qualifications and eligibility criteria help determine if home health care is the right fit for you or your loved one.
We combine physician-directed care with skilled support to ensure safe, effective recovery in the home environment.
Who Qualifies for Home Health Care?
Home health care is designed for individuals who need skilled medical support or assistance with daily activities while remaining in the comfort of their home. You may qualify if:
- You are under a physician’s care with an established care plan
- You require skilled nursing or therapy services (physical, occupational, or speech)
- Leaving home is difficult due to illness, injury, or limited mobility (“homebound” status)
- You are recovering from a recent hospitalization, surgery, or health setback requiring ongoing care
Eligibility Criteria
Doctor’s Order
A physician must certify that home health services are medically necessary and establish a plan of care.
Skilled Care Need
You require intermittent skilled nursing, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, or continued occupational therapy.
Homebound Status
Leaving home requires considerable effort and assistance due to illness, injury, or mobility limitations.
Insurance & Coverage
Home health care services are often covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and many private insurance plans. Our team helps you understand your benefits, confirm eligibility, and navigate the approval process with your physician.
