Amedisys Home Health Care in Crestview Hills, Kentucky provides skilled nursing, therapy and other services to help patients recover from illness, injury or surgery in the comfort of home. The team includes nurses, home health aides, social workers, physical therapists, speech therapists and occupational therapists available on-call 24/7 for urgent needs.

Services offered include nursing care with pain management and monitoring, physical therapy to build strength and balance, occupational therapy for daily living tasks, speech therapy for communication and swallowing, wound care, and medical social work coordination. Specialized programs are available for patients with COPD, heart failure, diabetes, and fall prevention, with treatment tailored to individual needs and based on evidence-based clinical practices.

The home health team works collaboratively with patients, families and doctors to develop an individual plan of care. A nurse or therapist will typically conduct the first visit within 24 hours of hospital or nursing facility discharge, and the frequency of subsequent visits is determined by the personal plan of care and adjusted as needed by the patient's doctor.

Home health care is typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance plans for eligible patients. The service model keeps patients comfortable at home where they typically recover faster with fewer complications compared to facility-based care.
