Skilled Nursing
Physical Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Speech Therapy
Medical Social Work
Home Health Aide
Personal Care Services

Prior to receiving home health care, Prospect Homecare Agency will tell you how much Medicare will pay. If any items or services aren't covered by Medicare, Prospect Homecare Agency will tell you how much you'll have to pay for them. The agency will also provide you with a notice called the “Advance Beneficiary Notice" (ABN) before providing services and supplies that Medicare doesn't cover.

Skilled services provided are based on your individual needs. Your physician and our care team will carefully establish a plan of care that best suits your needs and schedule.

During the first visit in your home, you will be greeted by our Registered Nurse or Physical Therapist. They will conduct a series of assessments based on your diagnosis and condition that evaluates your physical, mental and environmental needs. This information then allows them to establish a unique care plan for you.

Our Therapy Maintenance Program is covered under Medicare Part B. It includes frequent therapy visits, similar to Outpatient, directly in your home if it is medically indicated that you would regress or decline immediately following a discharge from therapy services. The goal is not to improve your current mobility condition, but rather to maintain your current level of function, preventing regression or decline through a longevity program.
