Frequently asked questions
What is skilled nursing?
Skilled nursing is medical care provided by licensed nurses under the direction of a physician. These services include clinical assessments, medication management, wound care, chronic disease management, post-surgical care, patient education, and ongoing health monitoring. Unlike non-medical caregiving, skilled nursing requires professional clinical training and is designed to address medical needs safely within the home.
How quickly can services begin?
We understand that healthcare needs often arise unexpectedly. In many situations, Horizon Home Health LLC can begin services within 24 to 48 hours after receiving the necessary physician orders and completing the initial assessment. Our goal is to make the transition to home healthcare as smooth and timely as possible.
How is skilled nursing different from personal care?
While both services support individuals at home, they serve different purposes. Skilled nursing focuses on medical care provided by licensed healthcare professionals, while personal care assistance helps with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, mobility assistance, and light housekeeping. Many patients benefit from receiving both services together as part of a comprehensive home healthcare plan.
Will my nurse communicate with my physician?
Absolutely. Communication is one of the foundations of quality home healthcare. Our skilled nurses work closely with your physician and other healthcare providers to monitor your progress, report changes in your condition, and ensure your care plan continues to meet your medical needs. This collaborative approach helps provide seamless, coordinated care throughout your healthcare journey.
Does insurance cover skilled nursing services?
Coverage depends on your individual insurance plan and eligibility requirements. Many skilled nursing services may be covered through Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance plans, VA Community Care, or other approved healthcare programs when medically necessary. Our intake specialists are happy to verify your benefits, explain your coverage, and answer any questions before care begins.
