Your Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be homebound to receive skilled nursing?

Some insurance plans (including Medicare) may require homebound status and a physician order. Requirements vary by plan. We can help confirm eligibility.

Do I need a caregiver present during visits?

A caregiver isn’t required, but having a support person can help with safety, education, and follow-through on the care plan.

What should I have ready for the first visit?

An up-to-date medication list, recent discharge or clinic notes, your ID and insurance information, and a list of questions or goals.

Will you coordinate with my doctor and other providers?

Yes. We update your physician on progress and changes, and we coordinate with therapy, pharmacy, and other providers as needed.

Can I receive therapy or aide services along with skilled nursing?

Often yes. Your plan of care may include physical, occupational, or speech therapy and home health aide support when ordered by your physician.

What if my symptoms get worse between visits?
