Atlanta Home Health Care | Skilled Nursing | Physical Therapy
Home health care gives Atlanta seniors the ability to get insurance-covered, medical health care in the privacy of their own homes. Home health care includes wound, speech, occupational, physical and other types of therapy.
The need for Home Health Care in the Atlanta area has grown for many reasons. Medical science and technology have improved. Some care that was once provided only in a hospital can now be delivered at home, no matter where "home" is.
Also, Home Health Care in Atlanta is usually less expensive and may be as effective as care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility. Just as important, most Atlanta seniors and their families prefer in-home health care, rather than being in the hospital or a nursing home when their condition allows them to be cared for at home.
Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance plans cover some medically-necessary home health care in the Atlanta area, which must be prescribed by a physician.
A few Home Health Care agencies in Atlanta also provide Private Home Care, but only in combination with medical care.
