Home Health
We all expect to be in good health, until we’re not. But let’s say you find yourself preparing for upcoming surgery (or recovering from recent surgery), battling an extended illness, or just in need of some additional specialized care to manage your health needs; do you have a plan? It’s not really a surprise that many people don’t plan for such circumstances, even well into their golden years; no one wants to admit they may not have a clean bill of health anymore.
The good news is that if any of these circumstances sound familiar, you could be a perfect candidate for home health. The great news is that these services are delivered in your home, whether that’s a private residence or your apartment at one of our Edgewood communities, AND your Medicare can cover part of the cost!* Dedicated clinicians will assess your needs and goals, as well as your environment, and work with you to help you reach your health goals. We will work closely with your doctor to give them the most current picture of your progress, and help you during any change in your condition.
