Call us and we will be able to answer your questions and discuss what home health care services are, how you may benefit from the services, how are services ordered and paid for and who qualifies for home health services. Have you been diagnosed with a new illness? Has your medication recently changed? Has your medical condition recently changed? Do you require therapy, skilled nursing services or home medical equipment? Would you rather be cared for at home? Have you been hospitalized recently? Do you feel you're at risk for a fall?

We understand that your medical information is personal and confidential. We create a medical record of the care you receive because it's our legal obligation, but more importantly because we want to provide you with quality care. Please know we are committed to protecting your personal medical information from any use for which it was not intended. In short, the law requires us to: Keep your medical information private. Notify you of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your medical information. Follow the terms of the most current notice.

At Health Plus Home Health Care, we believe that you are in control of your health and the decisions about your health. We are passionately committed to supporting your decisions. We support a Patient Bill of Rights and Responsibilities. Knowing your rights and role as a patient will help you make better decisions about your health care. Federal law obligates home care agencies to inform patients of their rights and responsibilities before care is provided. The law guarantees an individual receiving homecare the right to participate in the healthcare decisions that directly affect them and the responsibilities the individual accepts in participating in these decisions.

Many questions arise concerning how to determine what treatment is best, what happens if an individual is too sick to decide, etc. An advance directive allows you to give instructions to your health care providers and your family on health care decisions about yourself. This includes instructions about the types of treatments you want or don't want to receive if you become incapacitated. The term advance directive can describe a variety of documents. Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney documents are types of advance directives. The term advance directive may be used to refer to any of these specific documents or all of them in general.

"Home care" encompasses a spectrum of healthcare and social services that are delivered in the comfort and privacy of one's home to those persons who are in need of nursing, therapy, social services, nutritional and personal care support.
