About Sapphire Homehealth

Sapphire Homehealth is a Medicare-certified home health agency serving Encino, CA and has been Medicare certified since 2023.

Medicare rates the quality of patient care at Sapphire Homehealth 2.0 out of 5 stars, based on how quickly care starts, how often patients improve at walking, bathing and managing medications, and how often they are readmitted to the hospital.

Home health is short-term, doctor-ordered clinical care at home, typically after a hospital stay or during recovery, and Medicare covers it in full when the patient qualifies.
