There For You Every Step of the Way.

What to Expect

Once we receive a referral or physician order to begin home health services, we will reach out to you, or your indicated contact person, to arrange your Start of Care visit.  This initial visit must be completed on the date ordered by your physician or within-in 48 hours of the referral.  We encourage you to invite your family/caregivers to be a part of this visit so that they too can be incorporated into your Plan of Care.

During your Start of Care visit, we will spend approximately two hours:

  1. Reviewing your physician's orders.
  2. Reviewing your role, responsibilities, and rights as a patient.
  3. Orienting you to your Patient Handbook.
  4. Reviewing our role and responsibilities as your Home Health care team.
  5. Completing a comprehensive initial medical assessment, used to develop your personalized Plan of Care.
