Intermountain Health Home Health - Cassia

Intermountain Health Home Health - Cassia is a home health care service providing skilled nursing care, physical therapy, and other support in Burley, Idaho and surrounding areas of Cassia County, Minidoka County, Jerome County, and Twin Falls County.

The service supports patients recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or requiring ongoing medical care at home. Patients generally need a physician referral, typically following a hospital stay, though those with medical conditions requiring skilled nursing care or therapy at home may also qualify.

Visit frequency depends on individual medical needs and care plans, with nurses and therapists visiting as needed to monitor progress, provide treatment, and educate patients and families on condition management. The duration of services varies based on the patient's medical condition and progress, with the care team continually assessing and adjusting the plan accordingly.

Medicare and most private insurance plans cover eligible home health services, though coverage varies by provider. Patients are encouraged to contact their insurance provider to discuss coverage before starting service. The care team provides instructions on contacting urgent medical attention and can coordinate with physicians to ensure prompt care when needed.

Intermountain Health offers an advanced care and end-of-life planning program to help patients prepare advance directives and advance care planning documents, empowering them to make decisions about future care.
