Home healthcare allows individuals to live independently for as long as they need while recovering from health issues. Those who are recovering from a surgery, injury, or illness, managing a serious or chronic disease, having burns, or dealing with multiple diagnoses are examples of patients who need home health care.
By working with you and your doctors, we develop a plan for you to manage medications and teach you about your condition. Our team helps you understand the expected course of your illness and how to watch for warning signs. We work with your doctor to treat potential problems before they turn into something serious.
At Community Home Health, our goal is to give you or your loved ones the tools and resources to help control your sickness, achieve your health goals, and live life to the fullest based on your doctor’s orders and clinical needs. Wherever you or your loved one call home, our team of skilled home health nurses, home health aides, and physical, occupational, or other therapists will make regular visits to provide health care services.
Home healthcare can be a variety of things, but basically, it’s when someone comes to your home to help you recover from an illness or injury. It is usually more convenient as it’s in the comfort of your own home. You receive the same type of care you would get in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.

You need a physician's authorization for home health, but you can ultimately decide who you want to use. If you feel we would be a perfect fit for you or your loved one, request our healthcare.
Once we receive your order from your physician, we will immediately get to work for you. The first step will be giving you a call to collect information from you so we can begin giving care.
You may be eligible to receive home health care under the Medicare benefit if:
On the first visit, a nurse or therapist will conduct a thorough interview and professional assessment. Our assessment identifies areas where you may benefit from education and tools to manage your health. We partner with your doctor as well as family and caregivers to determine the best services for your needs. This team approach actively engages you and your caregivers in your health care and, if applicable, helps to make the transition from a hospital or nursing facility to your home much easier.
The frequency and type of home health visits are based on your personal plan of care. Your doctor may change your plan of care as necessary, increasing or decreasing the number of visits or services provided, in order to provide you with the best home health care for your needs.
