Who Qualifies?
Our home health services are available to any person who:
- Is under the care of a physician
- Lives in Flagler or East Volusia county
To qualify, the patient must:
- Require the skills of a registered nurse, physical therapist, and/or speech language pathologist, during the course of treatment, and
- Be considered “homebound"
- Services must be ordered by a physician
To qualify for benefits under the Medicare program, you must be considered “homebound”. Medicare considers a person to be “homebound” if:
- You require considerable and taxing effort to leave home
- Absences from the home are infrequent and of short duration
- If your physician has advised that it is unsafe for you to leave home due to your medical or psychiatric condition.
Some examples of Homebound Status:
- Walks with a walker, has difficulty going up and down steps to leave home; must have help to get in and out of car.
- Can walk without direct assistance, but can only walk short distances due to shortness of breath or other physical impairment.
- Extremely weak from illness and can only walk short distances without stopping to rest
- Severe pain and walks only as necessary
- Confused and unable to leave home unassisted
- Psychiatric patient depressed and withdrawn; refuses to leave home.
Allowable absences from the home include:
- May attend church
- May go to beauty salon
- May leave home as necessary for medical reasons
- May leave home for non medical reasons if absences are infrequent, of short duration and require a considerable and taxing effort
A patient who drives and can leave home without assistance is not homebound.
