In-home healthcare delivers a comprehensive range of medical services directly in a patient's residence. This approach aims to help individuals maintain their highest possible level of wellness, independence, and comfort. It's a team effort that typically involves the patient's family, their doctor, and a diverse group of healthcare professionals working together. Many find in-home care to be a more economical option compared to extended hospital stays, rehab centers, or nursing homes. Research suggests that patients often feel more at ease in their own living space, which can potentially lead to faster recovery times.

During your initial in-home healthcare appointment, a skilled healthcare professional - typically a nurse or therapist - will conduct a comprehensive assessment. This involves a detailed discussion about your health and a thorough evaluation to develop a tailored, proactive care strategy. Our team works closely with your existing medical providers to support your overall health and well-being. If you're transitioning from a hospital or care facility to your home, we strive to make this process as smooth as possible. An important part of our approach is actively involving you and your family members or caregivers, educating you on ways to maintain and improve your health at home.

Yes, we create a personalized care plan for each patient. A nurse or therapist first assesses your needs. We then work with you and your doctor to develop your plan, which outlines the services we can provide. We keep your doctor informed of your progress and adjust the plan if your needs change, always in consultation with you and your physician.

The services you receive and how often we visit are based on your individual care plan, which is prescribed by your doctor. If there are changes in your health condition, your physician may modify your care plan to ensure you're getting the most appropriate care.

Your home healthcare may be covered by various sources, depending on your situation. If your doctor confirms the need and you meet specific criteria, Medicare might cover the costs. Other potential coverage options include California's MEDI-CAL Program and private insurance plans, which may pay for services that Medicare doesn't. Our billing team works with multiple payment sources, including Medicare, Medicaid, managed care plans and long-term care insurance. We also welcome private payments and offer a sliding fee scale for eligible individuals to make our services more accessible.
