Home Health Aides

Home Health Aides provide personal care including bathing, hair and nail care, linen changes and assistance with activities of daily living. All or part of the costs associated with Home Health Aide services is often covered by insurance providers including Medicare. A skilled nurse or therapist may recommend use of Home Health Aide services to complement care until which time the patient has demonstrated sufficient improvement in self-care skills. If Home Health Aide services are not covered by an insurance plan or an individual wants to continue services following completion of skilled care, a private duty option may be available.
