When a patient starts treatment with a home health agency (HHA), it’s with the understanding that the HHA can provide all the necessary medical, nursing, rehabilitation, and social care right in the patient’s home. Every patient gets a personalized written plan that outlines the specific care and services they need, which is based on a thorough evaluation. This plan includes:
Which healthcare professional is responsible for different parts of the patient’s care.
The health goals the patient aims to achieve through the plan.
Details about educating the patient and their caregiver.
Additionally, the care provided must align with the professional standards generally accepted in the healthcare field.
