Home health care can be a lifeline for people recovering from illness or injury or managing chronic conditions. It helps patients stay safe and independent at home, with support from skilled professionals. Many don’t realize it’s fully covered by Medicare for those who qualify.

Heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalization for older adults and it rarely presents alone — most people with heart failure have at least one other significant cardiovascular condition. Without the right support, living independently becomes a challenge and many end up back in the hospital.

Our evidence-based Heart Failure Empowerment Program helps patients manage symptoms at home with a personalized care plan, interdisciplinary support and close coordination with physicians. Learn more: https://hubs.li/Q03QDJmH0

In hospice, Amedisys outperforms national CMS averages on all 7 HIS quality measures, and our Hospice Care Index score of 9.7 exceeds the national average of 8.8. And our Code Green protocol ensures patients receive compassionate, timely care, far surpassing national benchmarks for end-of-life visits.

In home health, Amedisys averages 4.2 stars out of 5 for quality of patient care, well above the national average of 3.24 stars. This rating reflects how often our patients improve in key areas like walking, breathing and medication management, and how consistently we deliver timely, effective care.

We’re proud of our clinicians and care teams who make these outcomes possible every day, in every home. Learn more about our quality commitment at: https://hubs.li/Q03PqhnW0
