Medicare Home Health & Therapies
Home health care services are given in your home for an illness or injury. Home health care is less expensive, more convenient, and as effective as care you get in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.
The home health care helps you to get better, regain your independence, become as self-sufficient as possible, maintain your current condition or level of function and slow decline.
