Frequently Ask Questions
Have a question about home healthcare? We have the answer.
What is home health care?
Home health care is a wonderful option for those with chronic, long-term needs. Lasik Home Health Care Agency can provide skilled nurses and therapists who will come to your home or an inpatient facility that suits you best based on the doctor’s plan of treatment.
What is the difference between home health and home care?
Home Care provides assistance with daily living. Home health care offers medical services that can range from in-home nursing to therapy for Alzheimer’s and dementia-related illnesses, as well as occupational therapies such as helping those who have difficulty walking or taking medications due to physical limitations.
This is a nonmedical service reserved only for individuals needing help performing routine activities like bathing themselves each day, and driving around town if they are able enough without assistance, but would still rather not be left alone while out on their own right after an injury/illness, etc. Home nurse practitioner positions usually offer 24-hour coverage, including evenings & weekends, though some may provide more specific hours depending on where you live.
What are the advantages of home health care?
Home health care is a life-changing event for many people with disabilities and their families. Home nurses allow patients to live in the comfort of their own homes, receive more specialist support than they would get in a hospital or hospice settings, and often discharge earlier from hospitals without expensive equipment requirements needed when cared for by someone else at home.
What types of professionals are on the home health care team?
The team includes doctors, nurses, home health aides, medical social workers, and therapists. They coordinate care based on the individual’s needs.
Is care at home well-equipped to deliver services?

How long does home health care last?
There is no set length of time for a home health provider—it can vary greatly based on a person’s unique needs. Some home care services may last for a few weeks, while others may be lifelong. If a physician is prescribing your home care, he or she will oversee services until your recovery goals are met.

Is my personal & medical information with care kept confidential at home?

How do you maintain the quality of nursing services?

Weekly video audits, monthly on-site audits, and evaluation of home visit reports by the internal medical audit clinical team to ensure seamless continuity of care.
