Home health care consists of specialized in-home health care that caters to various patient needs. At Freedom Home Health, we provide not only nursing services, but also physical, occupational and speech therapies. Our home health care agency is designed to match patients with our skilled aides to promote the highest level of care and satisfaction in the comfort of your own home.

Home health and home care are terms that are used synonymously, however the difference is understood as "skilled" and "non-skilled" home care services.

The term "home health" is designated by the used of skilled services. Skilled services are those that are provided by licensed, educated, and specially trained individuals such as Registered In Home Nurses, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech Therapists.

Skilled services are often supplied in the home care environment by a company like Freedome Home Health, that has passeed the rigorous process of becoming a certified Medicare Home Health Agency, with many regulations and conditions of participation to follow. Skilled services provided by Medicare certified agencies are most often paid for by Medicare or private insurances.

Non-skilled home health services are most often provided by non licensed individuals that involve services such as transportation, cleaning, making meals, assisting with bathing, showers, dressing and companionship. Non-skilled services provided alone are most often paid for privately or with long term insurance. Some home health aides do obtain a State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) licensure and eductation. At Freedom Home Health, we only used STNA's to work with our team when we provide skilled services to our clients.
