I can’t thank our Hospice care team enough for the love and care given to my mother and our family during our long journey with a terminal disease. My mother developed deep friendships with her care team. As her memory faded and health declined their support and increasing visits on their own time was very heartwarming. It showed care. Thank you nurses, aides, social services, Chaplin Bud and wonderful volunteers.

They did a good job caring for my mom at the end of her life. Changing her to a comfortable mattress, having conversations with her, & even feeding her. Thank you for the quality care

Yes. Athena Home Health & Hospice is a Medicare-certified home health agency, so Medicare Part A or Part B pays in full for skilled nursing, therapy and home health aide visits when a doctor orders them and the patient is homebound. There is no copay for covered home health visits.
For Medicare to pay, yes: a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant must certify that care is needed and sign a plan of care. Families can call the agency first, and the agency will usually contact the doctor to arrange the order. Ongoing help with bathing, meals and companionship is a different service, non-medical home care, which needs no referral.
