Anyone 65 years or older and has Medicare.

Anyone under the age of 65 who is disabled and has private insurance.

When an acute episode of care requires hospitalization, home care serves as the intervention before hospitalization, and the care following.

You may be eligible for home health services if you meet the following requirements:

• You must be under the care of a doctor and receiving services under a plan of care that's established and reviewed regularly by a doctor.
• You must need, and a doctor must certify that you need, one or more of the following:
• Intermittent skilled nursing care
• Physical therapy
• Speech-language services
• Occupational therapy
• The home health agency caring for you must be approved by Medicare -Cascade Home Health is Medicare Certified.
• You must be home-bound, and a doctor must certify that you're home-bound. To be home-bound means:
• Your condition keeps you from leaving home without help, such as using a wheelchair or walker, needing special transportation, or getting help from another person.
• It takes a considerable and taxing effort to leave home.
• Only leaving home for medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, such as attending religious services and hair appointments. You can still get home health care if you attend adult day care, but home care services would be delivered at home.

Home health services are paid by Medicare, Medicaid/Oregon Medical Assistance Plan, managed care organizations, private insurance or private payers.

The number and frequency of visits will be based upon your physician's orders and your individual plan of care.
