What is Home Health Care?

Home health care allows the elderly and medically dependent individuals live in their own home with the assistance of a private care professional. Depending on their medical condition, home health care can help seniors to live independent fuller lives and avoid the need for a nursing home. In-home care can involve a variety of services from different types of health care professionals.

Where do I start?

Your home health care services will start with your doctor. They will write a prescription for the types of home health services you need. The prescription will also state how often professionals will visit your home. Once you have your prescription you or your physician can contact Assisted and we will take care of the rest. To make sure there are no surprises we will verify your insurance benefits prior to the beginning of your in-home care.
