How home health care works
We make it simple and easy to get the coordinated care you need. Home health care services, which must be ordered by your doctor, may include nursing, and physical, occupational, and speech/language therapies to help you recover or manage a chronic condition in the comfort of your own home. The goal is to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations while following your doctor's established treatment plan.

Safe, supervised medical care—at home
Timely start of care
We will be there when you need us to begin services, usually within 24 hours of your call, and will ensure continued communication between your healthcare providers and your Jefferson Health at Home by BAYADA care team to keep everyone updated on your progress.

Trained and compassionate caregivers who love what they do
Your team of visiting caregivers may include nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, medical social workers, and other skilled medical professionals.

Clinical supervision
All caregivers are screened, licensed, experienced, and matched to meet your unique needs, and each patient's care is supervised by a Registered Nurse (RN) Clinical Manager and is coordinated in alignment with your doctor's instructions.

24/7 availability
If you have a question or are experiencing a crisis, you can reach us anytime, day or night.

Family support
We provide education to help you and your family understand your medication management and treatment plan with confidence and assist with making follow-up appointments as needed until you've met your recovery goals.

Maternal/child home visits
Some moms and babies need a little extra care post-delivery. If your physician orders home nursing visits, you'll receive the skilled care, education, and expert support needed to continue your post-partum recovery in the comfort of your home.

Our experienced Jefferson Health at Home by BAYADA nurse will:

• Conduct a complete assessment and physical exam of you and your baby
• Provide educational information as needed
• Create a plan of care with your baby's pediatrician to meet any special medical needs
• Administer phototherapy treatment if your baby has jaundice (and meets specific criteria)

Paying for home health services
Medicare is the primary payment source for home health services. Medicaid and private insurance are also accepted if you don't have Medicare benefits. Friendly staff members in our Abington office are ready to answer your questions and explain the different payment options.
