Residential Home Health and Hospice

Accredited Healthcare of America provides home healthcare services in the comfort of your own home in the Houston area. Home healthcare is usually less expensive, more convenient and just as effective as care you get in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.

When is Houston home healthcare needed?

Situations in which home healthcare is prescribed include:

• Following an inpatient hospitalization, rehabilitation, or a stay at a skilled nursing facility – to help the senior transition back to independence
• When a senior has had a recent medication change, in order to monitor for side effects and assure a new medication is effective
• When seniors experience an overall decline in functioning – in order to help them to regain independence through therapy or learning new skills to compensate for their deficit

What does home healthcare include?

The professionals of Accredited Healthcare of America are highly trained and provide a broad range of home healthcare services such as:

• Skilled nursing services
• Therapies such as occupational, physical or speech
• Administration of medications, including injections
• Intravenous or nutrition therapy
• Medical tests
• Monitoring of health status
• Wound care

How is Residential home healthcare paid for?

Since it is considered medical care, home healthcare is covered by medical insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid.

• Covered by Medicare when prescribed by a physician
• Medicaid for qualified individuals
• Private pay (in rare cases when home health care is not prescribed, but a senior desires such services)

If your doctor or referring healthcare provider decides you need home healthcare, they should give you a list of agencies that serve your area. They must tell you whether their organization has a financial interest in any agency listed.

The majority of people prefer to recover in the comfort of home rather than a hospital or skilled nursing facility. Our home healthcare services allow you to do just that by providing support ranging from a bit of assistance to nursing and therapy services.

Residential Home Health & Hospice: Care and Comfort in Your Comfort Zone

When health challenges disrupt independent living, the prospect of moving to an unfamiliar nursing home can bring about emotional and physical stress. At Accredited Hospices of America, we believe in simplifying life and eliminating stress. Our alternative solution comes in the form of residential home health and hospice care, all within the familiar setting of your own home.

Our dedicated teams bring their expertise to you, delivering both medical and personal care while allowing you to maintain your routine in your cherished space.

What is Residential Home Health and Hospice?

Residential home health offers short-term medical care at home following an injury, surgery, or hospital stay. Our nurses and therapists work to help you regain strength, mobility, and independence right in the comfort of your own environment. Residential hospice provides end-of-life comfort care for individuals with terminal illnesses. Our focus lies in pain management, enhancing quality of life, and providing crucial family support during a patient’s final months.

Both services involve bringing skilled medical professionals and caregivers into your private residence. We create a tailored plan that caters to your unique needs, all while allowing you to remain in your home rather than relocating to a facility.
