Home Health Care
Home Health Care is Personalized Care
At Butte Home Health, we know people feel better when they’re cared for in the privacy and comfort of their home. Whether it’s chronic illness, an acute medical problem, injury or disability – we are there every step of the way to ensure our patients receive the best possible medical care delivered by caring professionals. We are Medicare/Medi-Cal certified and have been caring for the members of our community since 1984.
- Home health benefits bring skilled nursing, therapy, or even medical social work visits to your home that help you recover, stay safe, and remain independent. All services are done under the supervision of your doctor.
- Home health can help you transition home after a hospital stay or after a stay at a rehabilitation facility. Home health can also be ordered by your doctor if your health condition or medications change. Our caring professionals visit intermittently (often two or three times a week) and focus on helping you remain independent at home. They will teach you about your condition, help you understand your medications and ensure you take them at the right time and in the right amounts, working to help you with your nutrition needs, keeping you safe from falls risks, and get back to doing your normal activities around your home.
- Home health is highly skilled, delivered by experienced professionals, and provides a personal plan of care to get you going again, safely and independently while keeping you where you want to be most – in the comfort of your home.
