tients do not have to be
bedridden but must be essen
tially confined to the home to
qualify. The physician must
order the service. Changes in
the patients’ condition are
reported to the doctor in order
for him to make appropriate
changes in the plan of care as
needed. Services may be paid
for by Medicare, Medicaid,
private insurance, or a sliding
fee scale.
The health team assists pa
tients and families to learn
techniques of self care or
home care by a family
member. Someone must be
responsible for the patients’
care when the Home Health
personnel are not in the home
since the services is only part
time. Areas of teaching may
include such activities as
diabetic teaching, including
insulin injections, skin care,
and excercises.
Treatments are provided as
specifically ordered by the
physician, such as
catheterizations, special
dressing, and injections. Fre
quently patients need only a
few visits by the Home Health
staff following hospitalization
to assist during the recovery
period. For others care may
be needed for long periods of
time to prevent nursing home
placement. Some patients
with terminal illness wish to
remain at home with the sup
port of their physician, their
minister, their family, and the
Home Health staff.
With the increasing de
mand for nursing home beds
in this area, Home Health Ser
vices can help to prevent un
necessary nursing home
placement or extended
hospitalizations in many
cases. The quality of life for
many is enhanced, especially
for our elderly citizens who
have learned through ex
perience and have so much to
offer through their influences.
Home Health can be another
way of providing care and re
maining where many people
would rather be, at home.
