Hello!

In-Home Therapy

Rehabilitative therapy supports recovery from aging, illness, or injury, restoring mobility, strength, and independence. Physical and occupational therapy enhance coordination and daily function, while speech therapy improves communication and swallowing.

In-home care provides personalized support in a familiar setting, fostering confidence and holistic healing. With compassion and expertise, we help individuals regain independence and enhance their quality of life at their own pace.

Recuperate. Restore. Regain.

Individualized Care

With in-home therapy, the patient has the undivided attention of their therapist. This translates to a higher quality of care and better outcomes overall.

Convenience & Accessibility

Many homebound patients find it comforting to receive treatment in a familiar place, allowing them to focus on their care with few distractions.

Prevent Falls & Other Injuries

The therapist is trained to spot fall risks and other hazards within the home. By identifying and eliminating these dangers, they can help the patient avoid additional injury.

Practicality

By delivering treatment where the patient lives and performs day-to-day tasks, the therapist can provide instruction that is clear, meaningful, and helpful.

In-Home Physical Therapy (PT)
Physical therapy restores independence by improving mobility, strength, balance, and flexibility. It helps patients overcome challenges like falls and dizziness while adapting to assistive devices. Through personalized plans, therapy enhances posture, body awareness, and daily function.

In-Home Occupational Therapy (OT)
Occupational therapy restores independence in daily tasks like dressing, bathing, and cooking. It supports those facing injury, illness, or aging, fostering joy and reducing caregiver reliance.

In-Home Speech Therapy
Speech therapy strengthens communication, swallowing, and cognitive skills, especially after a stroke or brain injury. Home-based care offers personalized support for speech, language, and problem-solving, benefiting those with Alzheimer’s and similar conditions.

Medicare-Certified Home Health

Home health services and home care services serve distinct purposes. Home care focuses on non-medical daily tasks for individuals who need assistance with everyday activities. This can include help with medical appointments, senior transportation, grocery shopping, bathing, meal preparation, medication reminders, and other personal care needs.

Home health services, on the other hand, address specific medical needs prescribed by a doctor. These services involve healthcare professionals providing ongoing medical care in the home. 

How to Qualify for Medicare Home Health Benefits

To qualify for Medicare home health benefits, an initial evaluation of physical health is required. Since most home health agencies assign and oversee healthcare providers, it’s essential to understand the specific health criteria they follow to ensure eligibility. Medicare-certified agencies adhere to specific standards.

Medicare covers your home health care if:

  • You receive care from a Medicare-certified home health agency (HHA), like Tri-County Home Care.
  • You are homebound, meaning it’s very difficult for you to leave home without help.
  • You require skilled nursing or therapy (physical, speech, or occupational) on an intermittent basis. Intermittent care means you need assistance at least once every 60 days but no more than once a day for up to three weeks (this period can extend if your care needs are predictable and temporary).
  • You have a face-to-face meeting with a doctor within 90 days before starting home health care, or within 30 days after care begins. This can be done via an office visit, hospital visit, or in some cases, a virtual meeting.
  • Your doctor signs a home health certification confirming your homebound status and need for intermittent skilled care. The certification must also confirm the doctor’s approval of a care plan and that the face-to-face meeting requirement was met.
  • Your doctor reviews and re-certifies your home health plan every 60 days.

Note: Medicare will not cover home health care if you only need occupational therapy. However, if you qualify for other home health services, you can also receive occupational therapy. When other care ends, occupational therapy may continue to be covered under Medicare’s home health benefit if you still need it.

A comprehensive medical evaluation will determine eligibility for Medicare home health services.
