Visiting home healthcare agencies provide services to support seniors who desire to remain in their own private home as long as possible.  

Home health care agencies, or sometimes referred to as Visiting Nurse Agencies (VNAs), care for patients with comprehensive services from basic medical needs to hospice care.

Visiting home healthcare care agencies are typically covered by insurance, but some services that require an extended length of time may not be fully covered and will require supplemental private pay to continue.

These services can include, but are not limited to the following:

• Skilled nursing

• Rehabilitation therapies: physical, occupational and speech

• Case management

• Home health aide services

• Pain management

• Enteral administration

• Behavioral and mental health counseling

• Hospice and palliative care

• Home medical equipment

Seniors aging in place qualify for in-home services for as long as they are considered “homebound” by the agency. Specific certification requirements may be required for short term medical care or rehabilitation as diagnosed and referred to by their primary physician or specialist.
