Professional health care in the comfort and security of your own home.
When recovering from an illness, an injury, or disease, you might require any of a variety of health services, but are unable to leave home to receive them. Home Health from Epworth At Home includes a broad spectrum of medically related services and therapies you may need to help you regain or maintain your health and independence. Typically, this type of care is only needed on a short-term or intermittent basis.
There are certain requirements for patients to qualify for these types of services.
- You must be covered by Medicare.
- You must be under the care of a physician.
- You must require intermittent skilled nursing care, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, or Speech Therapy.
- You must be homebound.
I found the essentials I needed from the Epworth At Home care team and their professional Nursing, Therapy and Nutrition staff. They nurtured me back to health with the empathy, expertise and experienced care I needed during a fragile and frightening life experience.
