West Tennessee Home Health...Where you can recover, regroup, and renew confidence in yourself.
Whether you are recovering from an injury or illness or you are learning to cope with a chronic medical condition, home care can help. More than 20,000 providers deliver home care services to 7.6 million individuals who require services because of acute illness, long term health conditions, permanent disability, or terminal illness.
But not everyone who could benefit from home health care services receives it. An estimated 20% of patients over 65 have functional impairments with related home care needs that are often unrecognized during the typical physician's office visit and most patients who are discharged from the hospital require some post-hospital medical or nursing care that cannot be provided by family or friends alone.
Home health services are covered by almost all major medical insurance providers, as well as Medicare and TennCare, and can improve health and may help reduce the need for hospitalization or nursing home care. It may help reduce hospital length of stay and the risk of hospital re-admission or may help reduce emergency department visits.
