What to expect
Your parent will receive visits from nurses and therapists on a scheduled basis at home. A skilled nurse will monitor health, manage medications, and provide specialized care. Physical and occupational therapists will work toward specific recovery goals—like regaining strength or learning to dress independently. A home health aide offers personal care assistance. Speech pathologists address swallowing or communication challenges if needed. A medical social worker can help your family understand resources and navigate the care process. As a nonprofit, Empath reinvests revenue into their mission rather than distributing profits to shareholders.

Frequently asked questions
What does skilled nursing care include?
A licensed nurse provides wound care, medication management, catheter care, and monitoring for medical conditions—services that require professional nursing expertise and cannot be safely done at home without training.
How is physical therapy different from occupational therapy?
Physical therapy helps with movement, strength, balance, and mobility—like learning to walk safely after surgery. Occupational therapy focuses on daily living skills like bathing, dressing, cooking, and returning to hobbies.
Is Empath Medicare-approved?
Yes. Medicare certification means they meet federal standards for home health care and can bill Medicare directly for eligible services covered under your parent's benefits.
How long have they been in business?
Empath Home Health was founded in 1985, giving them over 40 years of experience working with families and patients in home settings.
What does a medical social worker do?
The medical social worker helps families navigate insurance, connects your parent with community resources (meal programs, support groups, financial assistance), and addresses emotional or social concerns related to their care.
