Frequently Asked Questions

We understand this process can be confusing! Here are some common questions that we hear. For more details or questions, give us a call!

What is home health care? 
Home health care brings medical care and assistance to your home. Nurses, therapists, and home health aides provide services and support with daily tasks, all under your doctor's direction. The goal is to help you recover, manage conditions, and live independently in the comfort of your home.
What can a home health aide do to help me? 
Home health aides provide a range of unskilled services to support individuals in their daily lives at home. These services, also known as non-medical or personal care services, can include:

  • Personal Care Assistance 
    • Bathing, grooming, dressing
  • Assistance with eating and meal preparation 
  • Medication reminders
  • Health condition monitoring
  • Assistance with exercise and activities
  • Mobility assistance and fall prevention 
  • Light housekeeping 
  • ... more

Tasks assigned will vary by payer program allowances, as well as personal conditions, household needs, and clinician recommendations. They will be assessed and determined during your intake process and again during the Start of Care assessment with your nurse. 

How many hours of care per day or week will I recieve? 
The length and duration of services allowed depends on several factors: 


  • Your doctor's referral for services as ordered
    • Should be based on your condition and expressed need for assistance 
  • Assessment from Nursing staff
  • The service payer and their allowances 
    • Authorization for care from your insurance payer(s) 
  • Assessment from Program Case Manager
    • Waiver allowances 

Basically, you and your doctor can discuss how many hours per day / week would be preferred.  This is then sent over to the agency as our goal. Next, the agency will send an RN to complete her in-person assessment with you during which time she will gain a better understanding of your needs as demonstrated within your own home.  Then, finally, all of this documentation is sent to your insurance company for review.  They will then issue a prior authorization for the final amount of services they will pay for within a specific period of time. 

Additional hours may be permitted through a Home and Community Based Care Waiver program. Your program case manager (if you have one from waiver services and your insurance company) will also make a recommendation based on allowances they are permitted to provide. This will go into your Person Centered Service Plan which is shared among all your assigned service providers.  

What is a waiver program?
Home- and community-based services (HCBS) allow Ohioans covered by Medicaid, or who meet other eligibility criteria to obtain healthcare services and support in their own home or community instead of a nursing home, hospital, or other long-term care facility.  Certain conditions must be met in order to be eligible for services from Ohio’s HCBS waiver programs. All programs require individuals to:


  • Meet Medicaid citizenship requirements or be a United States citizen.
  • Have or will seek a Social Security number.
  • Be an Ohio resident.
  • Meet financial requirements.
  • Meet a specific level of care 
  • Need and use at least one waiver service monthly.
  • Agree to participate in the person-centered planning process.
