Healthcare shouldn’t be this complicated. Learn the terms that matter to make informed decisions about your health.
A home health agency is an organization that provides skilled nursing care, therapy services, and medical social services to patients in their homes under physician orders. These Medicare-certified agencies employ nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, home health aides, and social workers to deliver medically necessary care for homebound patients. Services include wound care, medication management, rehabilitation, chronic disease management, and assistance with activities of daily living.
