Benefits of Home Health
Home health care keeps older adults who are recovering from injuries or managing acute or chronic health conditions
where they want to be – at home. There are also several other benefits of home health care including:
1. Greater Independence
Older adults may not admit they’re struggling because they don’t want to lose their independence. One of the primary
benefits of home health care is that it helps older adults continue doing everyday tasks like walking, bathing, dressing
and preparing meals. This way, they can live independently at home as long as possible.
2. Safety, Comfort and Convenience
Research shows that elderly adults recover faster, with fewer complications, at home than in a hospital. With home
health care, patients can get help managing their medications. This prevents harmful drug interactions, which can
help you avoid going to the hospital. An occupational therapist can help create a safe environment to reduce the risk
of falls. Being at home allows older adults to stick to their routines in familiar surroundings and keep a sense of
normalcy in their lives.
3. Relief for Family Caregivers
The benefits of home health care also extend to family caregivers. Home health aides can help with bathing, dressing
and other daily tasks. This relieves some of the burden on family caregivers. The home health team can also educate
family members about how to provide follow-up care and connect them with helpful resources. This type of support
provides peace of mind and protects against caregiver burnout.
4. Prevents Avoidable Trips to the Hospital
Older adults may be able to avoid unnecessary hospital visits by managing their health conditions at home. Home
health care helps by providing regular monitoring and education. Patients also have 24/7 access to a professional they
can call if they’re having troublesome symptoms and aren’t sure what to do.
5. Saves Money
Avoiding unnecessary trips to the hospital saves money. Home health care can also save money by delaying or preventing
the need for nursing home care or other more intensive types of care. The costs of home health care are covered by
Medicare as well as Medicare Advantage payors and private insurance for eligible patients.
6. High Quality
An important benefit of home health care is that it is grounded in evidence-based practices and standards of care to
make sure patients receive the right care at the right time in their home.
7. Personalized Care
Patients receive one-on-one attention and a care plan that is tailored to their specific needs. This makes treatment
more effective and builds trust among the patient, caregiver and home health care team.
8. Team of Professionals
Nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers and aides make up the home
health care team, with oversight by a physician. Each team member is carefully screened and trained. Patients can see
these professionals without having to go to a doctor’s office, rehabilitation facility or hospital.
9. Wide Range of Services
Home health care includes comprehensive clinical care. From skilled nursing and therapy to wound care and medication
management, patients can receive a wide variety of treatments at home.
10. Companionship
In addition to receiving visits from the home health care team, it’s easier for friends and relatives to visit elderly loved
one in their home than in the hospital or at a facility. With no time restrictions or set visiting hours, patients get more
social interaction. This combats loneliness and brings families together.
Who Pays For Home Health?
HOME HEALTH CARE INSURANCE OPTIONS
Who pays for home health care? Home health care is often covered by Medicare as well as Medicaid and some private
insurance plans if you meet the eligibility requirements. Here are a few of the most common ways to pay for home
health care:
MEDICARE
If you’re over 65 and meet the home health eligibility requirements, Medicare typically covers home health services.
In fact, Medicare is the largest payer of home health care. Medicare may also cover part-time or intermittent help
with bathing, dressing and other daily tasks from a home health aide. However, an aide is only covered if a doctor
orders those services in addition to skilled care to care for your injury or illness. Medicare does not cover non-skilled
personal home care services if that is the only type of care you need. Medicare Advantage plans might offer different
coverage, so check with your plan provider.
MEDICAID
Medicaid typically pays for home health care for those who are eligible. It covers the same services as Medicare.
Medicaid may also cover cleaning, meal preparation, transportation, personal care and other help that Medicare does
not cover. Visit medicaid.gov to check your state rules and find out the details of your Medicaid home health care
coverage.
PRIVATE INSURANCE
If you don’t qualify for home health or would rather use private insurance, many insurers cover home health services.
Most plans cover short-term skilled care, but not long-term care or personal home care services like housekeeping or
errands. Coverage varies significantly from plan to plan. Review your policy to see what type of home health coverage
your plan offers. Medicare pays 100% of the cost of home health care services for eligible patients. Medicaid and
private insurance may also cover home health care.
