Who Can Help Me When Home Health Can't Be There?

Can I have home health and home care at the same time?

YES! Let Right at Home be there when you need extra help.

For over 25 years, Right at Home has provided quality care to seniors and their families when they need it the most. The aging journey can be challenging but the right caregiving navigator can help restore a sense of independence and inclusion.

Recovering from an illness, injury or surgery can be overwhelming. Getting home and staying home requires coordination between multiple medical providers to receive the help you need to get you back to where you were. Right at Home and your home health care provider will collaborate for the best possible outcome for you!

Let's start talking about living.®

How Right at Home Collaborates to Aid in Your Recovery

Since home health visits are intermittent, in-home care can be the answer and support you when you need it throughout the day. If you are experiencing any of the issues below, our caregiver can help!

 Waning recovery or slow recovery.

 Visits to the ER for emergent symptoms.

 Social isolation / lack of companionship.

 Inability to comply with instructions from health care providers due to lack of mobility or other limitations.

 Difficulty getting to follow-up doctor appointments.

 Poor nutrition and hydration habits due to lack of help.

When you want to get back home and recover quickly, Right at Home can help.

Right at Home Services

Right at Home provides services that allow you to recover at home with regular visits by our trained caregivers. You focus on your recovery, and let us help make it easier:

Discharge Assistance

We get you home from the hospital, making sure you are settled in and comfortable.

Communication

We regularly communicate with your health care providers to ensure your recovery is progressing as expected and notify them of any changes in your condition to head off any potential complications.

Meal Preparation

Our caregivers prepare healthy meals for any diet—even special diets for conditions such as diabetes or congestive heart failure.

Housework and Errands

Your focus is on your recovery, not housework. Our caregivers take care of typical daily chores and errands, such as vacuuming, washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom and grocery shopping.

Safety

You may be a little unsteady on your feet as you regain your strength. We can help prevent falls and assist you with movement and walking.

Hygiene

Bathing, dressing and toileting can be difficult after a hospital stay. Let our caregivers help you maintain your independence while recovering.

Transportation

Your recovery could be at risk if you can't get to your follow-up appointments. We provide transportation to get you where you need to be, so you can stay where you want to be: right at home.

Everyday Health Reminders

We help you follow your health care provider's instructions in a timely fashion and as directed, so you can recover quickly.

The Role of In-Home Care Versus Home Health

In-home care is not the same as medically prescribed home health care.

Home health care:

´ Is prescribed by a doctor.

´ Is performed by clinical staff such as an RN or occupational therapist.

´ Is provided during short visits to perform specific tasks for a specific length of time until recovery has been achieved.

´ Can include physical therapy, medication assistance, complex wound care, IV therapy and other skilled nursing services.

´ Is primarily paid for by health insurance, Medicaid or Medicare (if qualified), or family-funded if no other programs are available.

In-home care:

´ Is nonmedical support including companionship, homemaking, and personal care services.

´ Is performed by caregivers (CNAs, NCAs, HHAs) to help seniors and adults with disabilities live independently in their homes.

´ Is performed in shifts of at least 3 hours as often as needed, up to 24/7 care.

´ Does not require a physician referral and can continue for as long as help is needed.
