Who should be referred?

Regardless of age, home care might be right for your patient if they:

• Are homebound and require ongoing medical treatments
• Require care following a hospital stay
• Require assistance with the activities of daily living and would like to live in the comfort of their own home for as long as possible

Specific examples include patients who:

• Have been paralyzed, confined to a wheelchair or require crutches to walk due to a stroke
• Require assistance to leave home due to blindness or dementia
• Are returning from the hospital and their activities have been restricted by their physician and they need wound care, IV therapy or some other skilled nursing care
• Are newly diagnosed diabetics who need teaching to manage the disease
• Have a psychiatric diagnosis and are determined to be psychiatrically homebound
• Require continuous care following a catastrophic event such as a car accident or work-related injury

To determine whether your patient lives within our service area, please contact the location nearest you.
