You can call before the paperwork is complete

A physician or other qualified practitioner must order covered home health and support the required eligibility documentation. Our team reviews the home address, ordered services, coverage, current needs, and staffing before confirming acceptance.

You do not have to wait to ask a question. We can explain what is usually needed, and we'll call you back the next business day.

Questions about occupational therapy

Is occupational therapy about returning to work?

It can be, but home health occupational therapy usually focuses first on everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, meals, and safely managing your home routine.

Will the therapist look at my home setup?

Yes. Working in your home lets the therapist connect the care plan to the rooms, steps, furniture, and routines you actually use.
