  Nurses To Go
 


Truly exceptional health care promotes physical as well as psychological wellness. We strive to provide holistic skilled health care services in the homes of our clients where familiar surroundings and family support can truly enhance their recovery.

Our promise is to provide the most effective and comprehensive home health care with particular attention to each patient and family's unique needs.

We are committed to and driven by our philosophy based on two fundamental principles: the belief in the innate worth of the aged and disabled individual, and the conviction that each individual regardless of age, race, color, creed, sex, national origin, or handicap is entitled to maximize their potential as a human being and as a member of society. We are dedicated to rehabilitating our patients within the confines of their residence in order to improve their life fulfillment.

What Qualifies a Patient for Home Health Care Services?

Homebound Status: Due to illness or injury, the patient is unable to leave the home without considerable effort. Any absences from home must be infrequent or for short duration, or attributable to medical or spiritual healing.

A psychiatric patient is considered homebound if the patient's illness is manifested in part by a refusal to leave home, or if it is of such a nature that it would not be considered safe for the patient to leave home unattended, even if there is no physical limitation.

Recent Illness: The patient has had a recent illness or injury that requires the skilled care of a registered nurse, or a therapist, or a change in medication or treatment regimen. Must Be Under the Care of a Physician: Services must be medically necessary and reasonable for treating the patient's diagnosis and symptoms. The Physician must order the home health treatment and provide medical oversight throughout the certification period.

Care is Given on an Intermittent Basis: Skilled home health services are approved for medical treatments and education, as medically necessary. Skilled home health care staff can not stay with patients for extended periods of time, or provide an emergency one-time visit.

A client is not considered homebound if he/she:

  • Attends social functions (e.g., sports events, the theatre)
  • Takes daily walks
  • Goes to work in a car
  • Leaves home against physician's orders if this is done frequently for long periods of time
  • Goes out to dinner regularly
  • Does grocery shopping or other shopping on a regular basis
