Question❓
What are some common misconceptions about home health?
Answer❗️
"Home health is only for the elderly."
Reality: Services cater to individuals of all ages recovering from surgery or managing disabilities
"You must be bedbound to qualify."
Reality: While Medicare requires you to be "homebound," this does not mean you are bedridden. You can still leave for medical appointments, religious services, or brief, infrequent social events.
"Having a caregiver means losing independence."
Reality: The primary goal is to preserve independence by providing tools and support that allow you to stay in your home safely.
