Understanding Home Health Care

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What is home health care?

    Home health care is a comprehensive and personalized healthcare service provided in the comfort of a patient's own home. It is designed to assist individuals recovering from illness, surgery, or managing chronic conditions, enabling them to receive medical care, rehabilitative services, and support while remaining in their familiar environment.

  • What does home health care do?

    Home health care offers a range of medical, rehabilitative, and supportive services tailored to the specific needs of each patient. It aims to promote recovery, enhance quality of life, and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations. Home health care providers work closely with patients, their families, and healthcare professionals to develop and implement individualized care plans.

  • What are the goals of home health care?

    The primary goals of home health care revolve around facilitating recovery, managing chronic conditions, promoting independence, and delivering holistic care that encompasses both physical and emotional well-being. In this section, we delve deeper into these goals, exploring how home health care strives to enhance the lives of patients by fostering healing, empowerment, and a sense of security within the familiar environment of their homes.

  • Is Home Health Care Exclusive to Seniors and Elderly Adults?

    Home health care is not limited to seniors or elderly adults; it is available to adults of all age groups who fulfill the eligibility criteria. Younger adults may require home health care following surgery, injury, or acute illnesses to aid in their recovery. Research indicates that while individuals of varying ages can benefit from home health care, older adults tend to use these services more frequently due to a higher prevalence of chronic illnesses and disabilities.

  • What Conditions Are Frequently Treated in Home Health Care?

    Home health care is a valuable resource for homebound individuals due to various health concerns. Some of the common diagnoses among home health patients encompass:

    • Diabetes
    • Stroke
    • Hypertension
    • Heart disease and heart failure
    • Coronary artery disease
    • Dementia
    • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
    • Arthritis
    • Cancer
    • Chronic kidney disease
    • Pneumonia
    • Pressure ulcers
    • Post-care following illnesses or surgeries

  • What is healthcare at home called?

    Skilled home health care (or skilled home healthcare) is the term for prescribed, professional medical care provided in a patient's home by licensed healthcare professionals like nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, or speech therapists.

  • What is healthcare at home?

    Healthcare at home brings the expertise and resources to a patient's home as they transition to care outside the hospital. While your location changes, the important things remain the same. You'll still receive quality care but with skilled clinical staff coming to you.

Promoting patient independence and self-care.

By ensuring consistent care and early intervention, home health care aims to prevent hospital readmissions and improve the overall quality of life for patients with chronic illnesses.

Working Together

A Collaborative Approach to Comprehensive Home Care in Richmond, Virginia.

01

Skilled Nursing

RNs and LPNs are the backbone of the home health care team, providing skilled and specialized medical care. They assess patients' overall health, manage medications, administer treatments, and monitor progress. These experienced nurses collaborate with physicians to implement care plans, address any changes in the patient's condition, and educate patients and caregivers on proper medical management.

02

Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists (PT, OT, ST)

Therapists play a pivotal role in restoring physical function, mobility, and communication skills. PTs focus on improving patients' physical abilities, such as strength, balance, and mobility. OTs guide patients in regaining independence in daily activities, while STs work on enhancing speech, language, and swallowing functions as needed. These team members develop personalized plans that promote recovery and enhance quality of life.

03

Medical Social Workers (MSWs)

MSWs bring a unique dimension to home health care by addressing the social and emotional aspects of a patient's well-being. They provide counseling, emotional support, and resource coordination to help patients and their families navigate the challenges that may arise during recovery. MSWs also assess the patient's social environment, identifying potential barriers to care and ensuring that patients have access to essential community resources.

04

Home Health Aides (HHAs)

HHAs provide crucial assistance with personal care and activities of daily living (ADLs). They help patients with bathing, dressing, grooming, and light housekeeping tasks. Beyond physical assistance, HHAs often form close bonds with patients, offering companionship and emotional support. Their presence helps maintain a comfortable and reassuring environment for patients with limitations in their self-care abilities.
