Home Health Care
For services provided in the home by a licensed health care professional (occupational or physical therapist, speech pathologist, registered nurse, licensed vocational nurse, licensed medical social worker, or certified home health aide) a referral and a prescription from a physician are required.
Professional services in the home when medically necessary are sometimes covered by Medicare, Medi-Cal or private insurance. Also see listings in the Yellow Pages under Nurses and Nurses Registries.
Heart of Humanity Health Services
In Home Support Services
For non-medical services in the home, such as housekeeping, assistance in bathing, eating, dressing, meal preparation, supervision, companionship, etc., some nursing services also employ health aides. These services are termed ‘‘custodial’’ and are seldom covered by insurance and must be paid for privately. The Marin County Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Aging and Adult Services, offers a brochure entitled “Marin Home Care Collective” listing private in-home support service providers. Also see provider listings in the Yellow Pages under Caregivers, and Home Health Services.
