Skilled Home Health Care in South Florida

What Is the Difference Between Home Care and Home Health Care?

Home health care is medical care that a licensed clinician delivers at home under a physician's order. Home care is non-medical support that a caregiver provides for daily living without a physician's order.

Skilled home health care includes wound care, injections, IV therapy, disease management, and in-home therapy services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Focus Family Care provides skilled home health care alongside non-medical home care, so a client can receive both medical and daily-living support from one agency.

When Medicare Covers Skilled Home Health Care

Medicare covers skilled home health care in Florida when a physician orders skilled care and certifies the patient as homebound. Medicare covers skilled nursing visits, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and home health aide support under those conditions. Focus Family Care is Medicare-certified and verifies coverage before care begins.
