Home Health Hospice Services

Home Health services are offered to assist people in Stevens, Pend Oreille, Ferry and Northern Spokane counties to recover from an illness at home. Home Health serves by "Caring for our Patients with a Personal Touch". Many of our staff live in their local service area and have a strong commitment to help their neighbors with their health care needs at home.

Home Health services may include care from a nurse, aide for personal care, therapist or social worker. Services are provided on an intermittent basis, usually several times a week, for 1-2 hours per day to assist in the recovery from an illness or surgery.

Services are ordered by the patient's physician and paid for by Medicare, Medicaid, insurance, private pay or charity care.

One qualifies for Home Health services if services are ordered by a physician, the patient is homebound and there is medical necessity. Homebound means that the person is essentially restricted to home due to their health condition.

If you have questions please call 1-877-632-2894.

Hospice

Hospice care is provided for patients with a life threatening illness that have decided to receive comfort care vs. aggressive, curative treatment for their terminal disease process and whose physicians are able to certify a six month or less prognosis if the disease process follows its normal course.

Care is provided by a dedicated team of local health care providers. The care is ordered and facilitated by a physician and payment is usually provided by Medicare, Medicaid or insurance.

For a description of Hospice services and answers to questions you may have, please utilize our Hospice Link or call 1-877-632-2894.
