HOME HEALTH
Director – Kathy Housh, RN

Native Angels offers a full range of home health care. We offer services based on the individualized needs of the patient, in accordance with the physicians orders.

Skilled Nursing
We offer 24 hour seven day per week coverage for our patients. Our nurses develop individualized care plans based on the physician’s orders and your needs as a patient. We work extensively in providing education to both the patient and the caregiver in the management of any medical condition. Our attention to detail ensures that our patients receive the very best in home health care. We also offer aide services to assist our patients with bathing, feeding, meal preparations, etc.

Therapy:  Physical, Occupational
Whatever the home therapy need, Native Angels highly trained and compassionate staff can assist you. Our therapists are caring clinicians who tailor each program to fit the patient’s needs. We focus on assisting our patient’s in regaining as much functional independence as possible and we teach the family/caregiver to continue once home health therapy ends. 

HOW DOES HOME HEALTH CARE HAPPEN?
STEP 1

Diagnosis
Following an office visit or hospital stay, your physician decides that home health care is required.
STEP 2
Discussing Options
Together with your physician and family, you decide on the proper services and the right home health care agency to accommodate your special needs.
STEP 3

Developing a Plan
The home health care agency comes to your home, evaluates your needs and develops an overall care strategy, which is submitted to your doctor for final approval. This plan might also include suggestions regarding social service, dietary needs (i.e. Meals on Wheels), etc.
STEP 4

Your Home Care Visits
Each care program is strictly supervised by a registered nurse or physical therapist to assure your health needs are being met on a continuous basis. Your physician and home health care agency work together to monitor progress and determine if and when changes to the care plan are necessary.

When considering home health care providers, ask if the agency:

  1. Is Medicare-certified. That means it is approved to provide services to patients with Medicare.
  2. Offers the specific health care services you need (i.e., physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social worker, home health aides).
  3. Meets your special needs (like language preference), if necessary.
  4. Offers the personal care services you need (like help bathing, dressing, and
    using the bathroom).
  5. Offers the support services you need (like help with laundry, cooking, shopping or housekeeping).
  6. Has staff available to provide the type and hours of care your doctor ordered, and can start when you need them.
  7. Is recommended by your doctor, or social worker.
  8. Has staff available at night and on weekends for emergencies.
  9. Explained what your insurance will cover, and what you must pay out-of-pocket.
  10. Has letters from satisfied patients, family members, and doctors that testify to the home health staff providing good care.



Of course, Native Angels meets all of the above criteria!
