Home health delivers skilled nursing and therapy visits at home under a physician's order — wound care, injections, physical therapy — usually after a hospital or rehab stay.
Home health agencies are licensed by Georgia DCH and, when medically necessary after a qualifying event, are frequently Medicare-covered. A typical monthly range is $130 to $170 per visit, often Medicare-covered when ordered.
Here's what separates a strong community from a weak one:
