Amedisys Home Health Care

About Us

Whether you are recovering from surgery or illness, or living with a chronic disease like diabetes or COPD, Amedisys Home Health Care can make hospital visits shorter and less frequent with home-based skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and chronic disease management. We work closely with your physician to coordinate all aspects of your care, focusing on helping you recover and regain your independence.

Home Health Care Services

Skilled Nursing

Skilled nursing is provided by a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse and includes coordinating the plan of care your physician has prescribed, monitoring vital signs, giving injections, and providing wound care, among other things.

Home Health Aides

Home health aides don’t have nursing licenses, but they support your nurse by providing assistance with bathing, dressing and other personal care. Medicare and private insurance policies don’t usually cover home health aide service unless you are also receiving skilled nursing.

Rehab Specialty Programs

A doctor will create a plan of care based on a patient’s specific needs. Amedisys’ highly trained and certified physical, occupational and speech therapists help patients meet their goals and live more independent and productive lives.

Physical Therapy

The goal of physical therapy is to help you regain movement and strength. Our physical therapists will visit you in your home to help you perform daily activities and progress towards your physical goals.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is designed to help you regain your independence by performing daily activities by yourself. You may learn new ways to eat, put on clothes or comb your hair. Occupational therapy is sometimes ordered by a doctor without other skilled care.

Speech Therapy

After a stroke or accident, speech therapy can help you regain and strengthen your speech skills through exercise and training.

Medical Social Workers

We know physical issues aren’t your only concern when recovering from or managing an illness. Medical Social Workers visit your home to help you with the social and emotional concerns that may accompany your health care issues.

Chronic Care Programs

Our Chronic Care Management programs focus on involving patients in the health care process so they can attain more independence and a better quality of life. Behavioral Health, Telehealth, Telemedicine, Care Transitions and specialty programs like Heart@Home, COPD@Home and Stroke@Home are some of the innovative ways Amedisys helps patients manage their health in their homes.
