What does homebound mean?
We follow medicare guidelines. Medicare defines homebound as having a disease process or disability that makes it both difficult and physically taxing to leave the home. Most absences should be medically related. You are allowed to make infrequent outings from the home such as leaving to get a haircut, to attend a church service, go to the grocery store or the pharmacy. However, you must not be physically capable of driving while receiving home health care services.

How do I know I can trust the staff entering my or my loved one’s home?
Each clinical employee of A&A HomeCare, inc. must have a level I federal and criminal background screening, and must be deemed cleared prior to being allowed to enter your home. Also, the staff are periodically observed by management performing patient care in the home. Lastly, each patient is encouraged to call our office at any time with any questions or concerns about any of our staff members. Each concern will be individually addressed in a timely manner.

How much does home health care cost?
If you have traditional Medicare A & B, your home health care services will be covered 100% with no charges being billed to you. If you have a Medicare HMO or other private insurance policy you may have a deductible and co-pay per visit. These amounts will be determined during the precertification process prior to your admission and will be explained to you in detail.

Can you come to my home every day?
Unfortunately, no. Home health care is defined by Medicare as being iIntermittent in nature. This means less than daily. There are situations where the nurse may be sent daily for up to 2 weeks if certain medical criteria are met (such as with IV antibiotics). We do not perform any sitter or hourly type services. A private duty nurse would be required for that and is not covered under Medicare.

What services do you provide?
We provide a variety of services including Nursing, Physical and Occupational Therapies, and Home Health Aide for ADL Assistance. Click here to view detailed descriptions of our individual services.

Do you provide Meals on Wheels or housekeeping services?
No. These services are part of the Senior Citizens Association in the county in which you reside. The nurse may make a referral on your behalf to your local Senior Citizens Association, but most often times there is a waiting list for these services.

Can you go to the store or pharmacy for me?
No. Home Health is only allowed to meet your medical needs in your own home.
