What Is Home Health Care?

Home health care is skilled medical care ordered by a doctor and delivered in your home. Licensed nurses and therapists help you recover from an illness, injury, surgery, or hospital stay, manage a chronic condition, and stay independent – with your routine and family close by.

Care follows a physician-approved plan and is reviewed about every 60 days. For patients who qualify, Medicare typically covers these services.

Home Care vs. Home Health Care:
What’s the Difference?

Non-Medical

Home Care

Help with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, and meals. Usually paid privately by the hour.
Medical

Home Health Care

Skilled nursing and therapy ordered by a doctor and delivered at home. For eligible patients, Medicare typically covers these services.

XL Care is a Medicare-certified home health agency providing skilled, doctor-ordered care, not standalone custodial or companion care. Many families use both – skilled visits from XL Care and private help with daily activities between visits.

How Home Health Care Starts

Here’s what to expect after your doctor orders home health care.

01

Doctor's Order

Your doctor orders home health care and sends a referral to XL Care.

02

In-Home Assessment

After the referral is accepted, a home health professional visits to assess your needs and shares the findings with your doctor.

03

Care Plan and Visits

Your doctor and care team determine which services you need. Follow-up visits are scheduled with you based on your care plan.

Medicare Coverage for Home Health Care

$0

for covered home health services

Medicare covers skilled home health care when eligibility requirements are met. Medi-Cal, private insurance, and private-pay options are also available.

Medicare does not cover 24-hour care at home, meal delivery, or custodial care when it is the only care you need. Before your first visit, XL Care confirms your coverage and explains any expected costs.

What Patients and Families Say

– Sabita S., Encino, CA

I can definitely highly recommend XL Care for dementia care. They greatly helped my dad and our family care for our mom at home during the last 4 months of her life with Alzheimer’s disease. While not only helpful to my mom, they were a wonderful source of support for our whole family in coping with mom’s illness.

– Xavier J.R., Tarzana, CA

I used XL Care Inc. to find a nurse and PT. The people that XL Care provided for me were beyond my expectations. They were attentive to my schedule and sensitive to my needs. They are always responsive and available to answer my phone calls. I hope I don’t have to find a new Home Health any time soon, but I do in the future, I will always look forward to working with XL Care Inc. again!
