What to expect
When you call, expect a conversation about your parent's medical needs and insurance. Your parent's doctor must order home health services—it doesn't start without a prescription. An initial assessment visit will take 60–90 minutes; a nurse will review medical history, assess the home environment, and discuss care goals. If your parent qualifies, the agency will schedule regular visits (frequency depends on the care plan). Visits might include wound care, medication management, therapy exercises, or personal care assistance. You'll receive a care plan in writing and have a contact person for questions.
