The difference between home health and personal home care assistance is the necessity for skilled services. Home health care requires skilled services that would come from a Physician’s order. This includes things like nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, etc.

Personal care assistance involves unskilled services that are typically paid for through private pay (not paid by insurance). These services include help around the house, transportation, bathing and some light meal preparation. Most personal care services are not offered at Thrive, however contact us so we can assess the level of help we can provide. If we do not cover your needs, we can refer you to another service.

Home health is covered by Medicare, and we also accept most forms of insurance. Part of the admission process includes verification of insurance. We are happy to answer your financial and insurance questions.
