Amedisys tailors treatment to each patient's unique needs through an individualized plan of care developed by the patient's doctor in collaboration with the clinical team. A nurse or therapist will conduct a thorough assessment on the first visit to identify areas where patients may benefit from education and tools to manage their health. Family and caregivers are actively engaged in the care process, and the frequency and type of visits are adjusted based on the patient's needs and progress.

The home health care model keeps patients comfortable at home, where they typically recover faster with fewer complications than in institutional settings. Amedisys uses evidence-based clinical practices and an interdisciplinary approach to provide high-quality care. Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance plans typically cover the cost of home health care for eligible patients.
