Optimal Home Health supports the patient’s desire to spend their time recovering at home, rather than in a hospital, by bringing the best possible medical care to their door. The support system prescribed by the patient’s physician and provided by the home health team can bring safety, preserve independence and help the patient and their loved ones enjoy life. Here is a brief overview of how this care works.

Here to Help
People facing health limitations often wonder, “What should I do if something happens?” A home health nurse is available by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer questions, assess patient situations, offer support and put minds at ease. Having an expert available helps patients worry less and focus more on getting back on their feet.

Care at Home
A home health nurse meets with the patient on a regular basis to provide prescribed medical care, discuss changes in the patient’s condition and help resolve problems. While receiving this care, the patient is also educated about their condition and ways to remain safe, healthy and independent. This knowledge empowers the patient with tools to continue growing stronger and healthier, even after they have completed their goals for home health.

Support Services
Beyond the intermittent visits by the nurse, Optimal Home Health offers additional services such as rehabilitation therapy and assistance with day-to-day activities, such as dressing and bathing. Optimal also coordinates prescribed medications and medical equipment.

Optimal Home Health is a Medicare certified agency and has been accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Home Care (ACHC).
