What does HHC mean in NURSING

Home health care provides a variety of services, including nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology services, medical social work, nutritional counseling, medical equipment delivery and set-up, personal care assistance and more.

People who are recovering from an illness or injury, those with chronic conditions or disabilities that make it difficult for them to get around easily or take care of themselves can benefit from the convenience and personalized attention that home health care offers.

Yes! Home health care is available for all ages - from newborns to seniors - in order to lower costs by providing preventive treatments and reducing hospital stays. It also provides personalized treatment plans tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual patient.

Accessing home health care typically requires a referral from a doctor or other healthcare provider. Once the referral has been made, you will be assigned a case manager who can work with you on setting up appointments and connecting you with the appropriate home health agency.

Generally speaking, most insurance companies cover some portion of home health care expenses if medically necessary. However, it's important to check with your insurance company beforehand as some services may not be covered by certain plans. In addition, depending on your situation you may qualify for Medicare, Medicaid or other state programs which could help cover additional costs associated with HHC services.
