Medicare Home Health
Skilled Nursing in your own home.
RN- and LPN-led care in the home: medications, wound checks, IV therapy, post-surgical recovery, and chronic disease monitoring under a physician's plan.
Skilled nursing is the backbone of most Medicare home health episodes. An RN or LPN comes to the home on a schedule defined in the plan of care, usually one to three visits a week, to manage medications, run wound checks, draw labs, monitor chronic conditions, and catch the small changes that turn into the next hospitalization if nobody's watching.
On the first visit our nurse completes a full evaluation, walks through medications with the patient and family, and looks for fall risks in the home. From there, the cadence is what the physician orders, and the same nurse, as much as humanly possible, comes back for visit two.
How to start
From referral to first visit.
- 1
A physician, hospital case manager, or family member sends us the referral. The clock starts the moment it lands.
- 2
Our intake team verifies Medicare benefits the same day and confirms homebound status. Traditional Medicare moves immediately. Medicare Advantage takes a little longer because of prior authorization.
- 3
We complete the welcome call and coordinate scheduling for the start-of-care visit, usually the next day for traditional Medicare patients.
- 4
The clinician completes a full evaluation, starts care, and walks the home for fall risks. By the time they leave, the rest of the schedule is on the calendar.
