What to expect
When your parent receives home health from Carter Healthcare, a nurse will likely visit first to assess their needs and create a care plan. Depending on the services prescribed, you might see skilled nurses for medical care, physical or occupational therapists to help with mobility or daily activities, a speech therapist if there are swallowing or communication concerns, a medical social worker to help connect you with community resources, and a home health aide to assist with bathing and personal care. Most visits last 30 minutes to an hour, and the schedule depends on your parent's medical needs. The team will communicate with your parent's doctor about progress.
