How to choose between nearby options

Agencies serve a radius from their office, usually 25 to 40 miles, so a listing in a neighboring town almost always covers your address. Start with the two or three closest, then compare on the things that differ: minimum visit length, hourly rate and what it includes, whether the same caregiver comes each time, and what happens when a caregiver cannot make a shift.

For home health, Medicare has already done part of the work. Medicare-certified listings show the agency's star rating, how quickly it starts care, and how often its patients were readmitted to the hospital, so you can compare on outcomes rather than promises. Ask the discharge planner or doctor to send the order to the agency you choose. Our agency interview checklist covers exactly what to ask.

On money: Medicare pays for doctor-ordered home health but not for ongoing non-medical care, and our guide to paying for home care covers Medicaid waivers, VA benefits, long-term care insurance, and what care costs at common schedules.

Common questions

What is the difference between home health and home care?
Home health is short-term, doctor-ordered clinical care at home: skilled nursing, physical or occupational therapy, wound care, injections, usually after a hospital stay. Medicare covers it in full when the patient qualifies. Home care is ongoing non-medical help with daily life, paid privately or through long-term care insurance, Medicaid waivers, or VA benefits.
Does Medicare pay for home health?
Yes, when a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant certifies the need, the patient is homebound, and the agency is Medicare certified. There is no copay for covered visits. Every agency on this page is Medicare certified.
What do the star ratings mean?
Medicare's Quality of Patient Care star rating, from 1 to 5, summarizes how quickly an agency starts care and how often its patients improve at walking, bathing, breathing and managing medications. Each listing also shows hospital readmission and discharge-to-community results against the national rate.
