We also transport our residents back and forth to doctor's appointments, to town or the post office, etc. We are regulated very closely by the state to make sure no resident's rights, dignity or independence is lost. We have a social worker to help residents adjust to the nursing home and address any social problems or family problems they have. Higher rate of pay, all equipment, dressings or items used in someone's home by home health workers is billed to Medicare. Get your calculator out, Ms. Bradberry.
Home health costs taxpayers much more than nursing home care.
