When a family member requires medical care at home, choosing the right approach can feel overwhelming. Home health care offers a compassionate solution that allows patients to receive professional care services in the familiar comfort of their own homes. At Amavi, we believe in providing families with comprehensive information to feel empowered in making care decisions for their loved ones.
What is Home Health Care?
Home health care encompasses skilled medical services delivered where the patient resides to treat an illness, injury or chronic condition. These in-home services are often just as effective as care provided in a hospital or skilled nursing facility, yet can be more convenient and less expensive. Depending on the individual's needs, home health services may include nursing care, physical/occupational/speech therapies, and much more.
Who May Benefit?
Home health care can be an ideal solution for patients who:
- Are returning home after a hospital stay but need continued care
- Require assistance managing long-term health issues or disabilities
- Need rehabilitative therapies following an injury, surgery or health event
- Have skilled nursing needs such as wound care or medication management
- Are homebound, making travel to outpatient facilities difficult
The Personalized Nature of Home Health Care
At Amavi, we understand each patient's journey is unique. That's why our home health services are tailored specifically to their individual needs, routines and personal preferences in close coordination with their physicians.
Our comprehensive home health services include:
- Skilled Nursing: Monitoring vitals, managing medications, providing wound care needs
- Physical Therapy: Regaining mobility and improving strength/endurance

- Speech-Language Pathology: Treatment for communication/swallowing disorders
- Medical Social Services: Connecting patients/families to community resources
The Benefits of Home Health Care
Compared to traditional facility-based models, home health care offers several key advantages:
- Familiar Setting: Receiving care in one's own home can ease stress and facilitate faster healing in comforting surroundings.
- Personalized Care Plans: Our team collaborates closely with the patient's doctors to provide a care experience tailored to their unique situation while respecting their daily routines.
- Cost Effectiveness: Home health services are generally more affordable than inpatient care by reducing costly hospital re-admissions and stays.
