About Amedisys Home Health Care

Amedisys Home Health Care in Elkton, Delaware provides skilled nursing, therapy, and supportive services to help patients recover from illness, injury, or surgery and manage chronic health conditions at home. The team includes nurses, home health aides, social workers, physical therapists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists available 24/7 for urgent needs.

Care services include skilled nursing with pain management and wound care, physical therapy to build strength and balance, occupational therapy for daily living activities, speech therapy for communication and swallowing, and personal care assistance from home health aides. Medical social workers coordinate care and provide counseling and community resource referrals.

The organization offers specialized programs for patients with heart failure, COPD, diabetes, and fall prevention. A registered nurse works with the patient, their doctor, and the home health team to develop an individualized plan of care. Initial assessments identify areas where patients benefit from education and tools to manage their health, and visits are adjusted based on the patient's needs and doctor's recommendations.

Home health care enables patients to recover in their own homes, typically with faster recovery and fewer complications than facility-based care. The approach uses evidence-based clinical practices and draws on the latest research. Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance plans usually cover the cost of home health care for eligible patients.

I came home from short term rehab and Amedisys was at my house the next morning. They told me what services they were offering me such as physical therapy, home health aid to help with my showers and a nurse weekly to evaluate my progress. All of the staff are professional and very caring. Definitely would recommend them for any home care.

My husband’s nurse, Gina, was outstanding! She helped us during a time when both of us were in the dark how to do things. Gina made us feel confident and like pros by the time my husband was discharged. Thank you Gina for all you did for us!!⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Having in home physical therapy after major back surgery was so helpful. Rebecca and Gerri were patient and kind. They taught me value exercises and stretches to ease my pain and get me moving. Sometimes I would be having a bad day managing my situation and they would listen and give great advice.

All 4 of the Amedysis staff members were extremely kind, professional, flexible, patient, courteous, respectful, reliable , and supportive. From the first assessment visit to the final OT and PT sign off, each member of this team worked well with my mother. They treated her with so much respect and genuine kindness. They never once made her feel uncomfortable when they worked with her knowing she has dementia. They were very sensitive and encouraging as well. Thank you for your excellent advice, communication and care.
