Home Health
Home health provides a wide range of health care services that can be given in the home, usually after an illness or an injury. Services could include, a visiting nurse, physical therapy, occupational therapy or wound care. These services are similar to what you would get in a skilled nursing rehabilitation facility and are usually paid for by your insurance, such as Medicare. While it is usual for home health to be ordered after a surgery or hospital stay, your doctor can order Home Health at any time if it's determined to be beneficial to your health. Allyson Senior Solutions can help you with communicating with your doctor to ensure you get the care you need at home.

What should we do if my loved one is being discharged from a Sacramento-area hospital and needs home care immediately?
Hospital discharges can happen quickly, often leaving families with only 24 to 48 hours to set up care. We assist by coordinating directly with the hospital discharge planner or social worker. We ensure doctor's orders for Home Health are submitted immediately while simultaneously connecting you with vetted local In-Home Care agencies in Carmichael and Sacramento that can deploy caregivers for the transition home without delay.
How do we handle a situation where a doctor hasn't ordered Home Health, but we feel my parent clearly needs it?
You do not have to wait for a physician to bring it up. If you notice an unsteady gait, recent near-falls, poor wound healing, or difficulty managing medications, contact us. Allyson Senior Solutions can help you frame these specific mobility and safety changes so you can communicate effectively with your parent's primary care physician to request a formal Home Health evaluation.
