What is Home Health?
Home Health is skilled healthcare services that are provided in your home to address an illness or injury. Often, Home Health is the next step in recovery after being in the hospital or skilled nursing facility such as Arleigh Burke Pavilion. Home Health can also be vital in preventing an unexpected hospital stay by addressing health issues before they require an in-patient stay.
