What Is Home Health Care

  • Research shows that people typically recover faster and with fewer complications with Home Health than those who stay in the hospital — and most people strongly prefer staying in their own home to recovering in a nursing home.

  • Home Health is fully covered by Medicare, Medicaid/Oregon Health Plan and most private insurance plans.

  • Home Health is not the same thing as personal home care. Home Health is clinical care by licensed medical providers. Personal home care includes things like meal preparation, housecleaning and other non-medical services.

  • Home Health can be provided to you anywhere you call home.

  • Home Health does not replace other health care you are receiving — it provides only the services you need to regain your health and ability to function normally after illness, injury or surgery.

  • You do not have to be a certain age to receive Home Health. Anyone of any age who finds it difficult to leave home may be eligible to receive Home Health services.

  • You do not have to be bed-bound to be eligible for Home Health care services. If leaving home requires considerable effort, you may be eligible for Home Health.

  • Cascade Home Health is the only independent local nonprofit home health agency in Lane County and has been serving our community since 1982.
