It’s important to consider whether home health care is the most appropriate option for your condition. We highly recommend that you speak to your physician about your choices if you would like to sidestep long-term confinement in a hospital or admission in a nursing home. These days, more and more individuals opt for home health services. This allows the patient to stay at home and receive structured care at the same time from registered nurses, rehabilitative therapists and home health aides.

Qualifications for Home Health Care:

• You are considered homebound. Homebound means that leaving home is likely to be harmful to your health. And if you do need to leave home, you require another person’s help or a mobility assistive device such as a walker, wheelchair or crutches.
• You require skilled nursing care or skilled therapy (speech, physical or occupational) on an intermittent basis.
• Your doctor has prescribed you for home health services.

If you qualify for home health care, acquiring home health services is very easy through Aim Home Health. If needed, we can help you facilitate your discharge from the hospital and even arrange for transportation going home. Our care coordinators will make sure you get continuity of care by working closely with your physician in writing your plan of care. The plan of care covers the types of care you need, how often you will receive care, the required medical equipment for you to receive such care and the results expected from receiving treatment at home.

Please give us a call to get started with home health services as soon as possible. You can reach Aim Home Health at 630-946-6693.
