Why Home Health Care May be Necessary

Your doctor may suggest home care after you leave an inpatient rehab program, an outpatient rehab center, or a long-term care facility.

Home care providers can help you with:

  • Recovery from surgery
  • Rehabilitation after a stroke or infection
  • Medication management and monitoring
  • Daily living tasks

Home care services make it possible for you to get the care you need in the comfort of your own home, instead of in a hospital or rehab facility.

Getting Started With Home Care

If your doctor has given you a prescription for home care, most insurance providers (either private insurance or Medicare) will cover all or most of the cost. After you contact Dignity Health for home health services, a coordinator will visit you to assess the type of care you need and how often you need it.
