Home Health Care helps patients to recover from injury, illness, a medical procedure, or cope with a chronic illness within the comfort of their home. Home health care likewise aids in promoting health improvement, quality of life, independence, and prevention of unnecessary re-hospitalization of patients.
General Eligibility Guidelines
One must satisfy the criteria developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, as listed below, in order to be eligible for home care:
Hospice is a service provided by an interdisciplinary care team to any patient who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and certified by a physician that they have less than six months to live. While traditional medical care focuses on treating disease and illness, hospice care centers on improving the quality of life for the individual, in addition to providing support and education to the family. Hospice care provides a team-oriented approach to delivering medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support individualized to the patient’s needs and wishes. The service is provided where the patient resides, at home or in a facility. At Care Dimensions Healthcare, our mission is to provide compassionate, quality care with respect and comfort to our patients and their families/caregivers.

Palliative care is a service that focuses on symptom management, comfort, and quality of life for individuals with chronic injury, illness, or disease such as stroke, heart failure, or cancer. Individuals can qualify to receive the care at the time of diagnosis and during curative care efforts. The focus is on providing comfort for the time being rather than prolonging life. An example of palliative care is pain and symptom management related to multiple sclerosis. Palliative care can be provided along with curative treatment. Over time, however, if the doctor and/or the palliative care team believe that the treatment is no longer helping, the doctor may recommend hospice.
The patient must meet all of the general eligibility criteria.
The patient must meet at least one of the four disease-specific eligibility criteria. (If the patient is younger than 21 years old, see Pediatric Palliative Care Eligibility section.)
