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 skilled nursing

Does a home health nurse replace my doctor?

No. The nurse follows the plan ordered by your doctor or other qualified practitioner, reports changes, and helps you understand the plan at home.

How often will a nurse visit?

Visit frequency depends on the order, your needs, and the plan of care. The agency explains the schedule before care begins.
