The Young At Heart in Rock Springs is now offering home health care services. The YAH Home Health agency aims to help patients recover and maintain their independence at home for as long as possible. As insurance companies work to reduce costs by limiting hospital stays for certain procedures and illnesses, it's important to recognize that recovery rates vary from person to person. Home health care provides an alternative to managing recovery alone at home or moving to a rehabilitation facility. Skilled nursing, personal care from certified nursing aides, physical therapy, and other services can be delivered directly in the patient's home. In many cases, Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance cover the full cost of home care. Research consistently shows that individuals who are ill, injured, or recovering from surgery often recuperate faster in their own homes. For those needing help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, or light meal preparation, the expense of nursing home care can be unnecessary and burdensome. Sometimes, simple strengthening exercises are enough to help restore independence. YAH Home Health Care provides services to adults aged 18 and older. A doctor’s order is required to begin care, and our office is available to assist you in obtaining one.
