Metrowest Home Health Care, an Amedisys Company, provides skilled nursing, therapy and other home health care services in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The agency serves patients recovering from surgery or illness, managing chronic health conditions, or requiring care during serious illness, delivering services in patients' homes with a clinical team available 24/7 for urgent needs.
The interdisciplinary care team includes registered nurses, home health aides, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and medical social workers. Nursing care encompasses pain management, monitoring, education and wound care. Physical therapists help patients build strength, balance and endurance to reduce fall risk. Occupational therapists assist with daily activities like bathing and eating, and recommend home modifications. Speech therapists address communication and swallowing challenges. Home health aides provide personal care support, and medical social workers coordinate care and connect patients with community resources.
Specialized programs address specific conditions including heart failure management, COPD support with symptom education and goal-setting, fall prevention with risk assessment and strength training, and diabetes management. An individual plan of care is developed with the patient's doctor and clinical team, with initial visits typically scheduled within 24 hours of hospital or facility discharge. Visit frequency adjusts based on the patient's needs and physician recommendations.
The agency uses evidence-based clinical practices and emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach that actively engages patients, families and caregivers in health management. Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance plans typically cover home health care costs for eligible patients.
