What to expect
Home health visits happen on a set schedule in your parent's home. On the first visit, the nurse will assess your parent's medical condition, home environment, and care needs, then develop a care plan together with you and the doctor. You'll learn what to watch for and how to support care between visits. If your parent has Medicare, the agency will handle billing. Communication with the care team is important—don't hesitate to raise concerns or ask questions about your parent's progress.

Frequently asked questions
What does Medicare coverage look like for home health?
Medicare covers home health if your parent was recently hospitalized, is homebound (unable to leave home without significant effort), and has a doctor's order. Covered services include skilled nursing, therapy, and home health aide care. You'll work with the agency to understand what's covered for your parent's situation.
How often will someone visit?
Visit frequency depends on your parent's condition and care plan. This might range from a few visits per week for rehabilitation to ongoing weekly or twice-weekly visits for chronic care. The care plan is adjusted based on progress.
Can I choose a specific nurse or aide?
Most agencies assign staff based on expertise and availability. Building continuity with the same caregivers is often possible once care begins. Call (361) 814-1669 to ask about their assignment practices.
What if my parent needs specialized care?
With six service types available, Nurses On Wheels can coordinate care across nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy—useful if your parent has multiple needs (e.g., wound care plus rehabilitation).
