|
|
Several questions need to be answered at this point to help you decide if you need medical or non-medical home health care.
Yes to 2 or more of the above questions may indicate a potential need for medical home health care. Discussing your felt need with your doctor will help you understand the issues and the answers.
Before allowing home health care to come into your home, you should know how a physical therapists pay will likely affect your care.

Non-medical home careIf you and your doctor have ruled out the need for medical home care but you still feel you need some help, consider non-medical home care.
Non-medical care means just that. Non medical. These services are often referred to as companion services. Your best bet is to Google "home health assistance" or the like. Or you can ask us to try to help you find help.
You can always call a business and ask if they provide non-medical home care assistance. Beware though, most medical home care company's WILL provide solely a home health aid but at a ridiculous price. You may want to hire your own personal one instead or ask us to help you find help.
You will find better rates by hiring a company who provides only non-medical home care assistance. This is what they do best and they generally do it well.
Don't forget to give your home health agency a grade!
And thank your Physical Therapist for a job well done!
