Home health care includes skilled nursing care , as well as other skilled care services, like physical and occupational therapy, speech-language pathology (therapy) services. Services may also include medical social services, and assistance from a home health aide (when needed by people also receiving skilled care). These services are provided by a variety of health care professionals in your home. The home health staff provides and helps coordinate the care and/or therapy your doctor orders. In support of your doctor’s orders, home health staff develops a care plan, which is a written plan for your care. It tells what services you will get to reach and keep your best physical, mental, and social well being. You have a right to participate in planning your care and treatment. The home health staff keeps your doctor up-to-date on how you are doing and updates your care plan as needed. Home health agencies cannot make changes to the care your doctor orders for you without your doctor’s knowledge and permission. http://www.medicare.gov/HHCompare/Static/Related/GlossaryPopUp.asp?TermID=skilled%20nursing%20care&Language=English%22%20%5Co%20%22Click%20to%20go%20to%20the%20glossary%20and%20view%20the%20definition%20for%20Skilled%20Nursing%20Care.%22%20%5Ct%20%22_newhttp://www.medicare.gov/HHCompare/Static/Related/GlossaryPopUp.asp?TermID=skilled%20care&Language=English%22%20%5Co%20%22Click%20to%20go%20to%20the%20glossary%20and%20view%20the%20definition%20for%20Skilled%20Care.%22%20%5Ct%20%22_newshapeimage_7_link_0shapeimage_7_link_1
