What is Home Health Care?

Home health care is a wide range
of health care services that can be
given in your home and is usually less
expensive, more convenient, and just as
effective as care you get in the hospital
or skilled nursing facility. The goal of
home health care is to treat illness or
injury and help you recover, regain
your independence, and become as
self-sufficient as possible.
• Assistance with activities of daily living
(e.g., bathing, light housekeeping)
How do I get Home Health services?
You need a doctor’s referral for Home Health
services. Your doctor can refer you directly
or we can assist in obtaining a referral. If you
or your doctor have questions regarding
starting home health services, please call
530.543.5581 or 775.782.1510.
Will my insurance cover Home Health
Care?
Medicare covers Home Health Care at 100%.
We accept Medicaid/Medi-Cal and private
insurances as well - all of which may have
some shared cost. Financial Aid is available to
those who qualify.
What should I expect?
Once your doctor refers you for Barton
Home Health services, we will schedule an
appointment and come to your home to talk
about your health history and your current
needs. With that information we will establish
a plan of care and begin to coordinate
the Home Health services you will need.
Communication with your physician is also
imperative so he/she is an active part of your
recovery process.
NOTE: In order to cover home health care,
most health insurance plans require that
you are “homebound”. Generally speaking,
“homebound” means that leaving the home
is a severe and taxing effort, assistance is
required to leave the home safely or significant shortness of breath occurs with minimal effort. Please feel free to contact us for
assistance in determining if you meet the
criteria for Barton Home Health services.
