Have you ever wondered what Home Health is? Have you ever had or thought that you might qualify for a Skilled Nurse
Assessment? Below are brief explanations on both:
What is Home Health? Home Health is skilled care services delivered to your home. Home Health patients are those
who require medically necessary skilled care (such as nursing or physical therapy) for an illness or injury including the
disabled, the frail elderly, and the chronically or terminally ill. Home Health patients are in need of medical, nursing, or
therapeutic treatment as well as assistance with the essential activities of daily living.
Do you qualify for a Skilled Nurse Assessment? You may qualify for a Skilled Nurse Assessment if you have a new
diagnosis (i.e. diabetes, CHF, COPD, HTN) or have difficulty controlling these diseases or others. Skilled Nurse
Assessments help make sense of your medication regime and explain your disease process, in addition to helping the
patients’ or caregiver’s ability to manage health issues at home.
We hope it was helpful. If you still have questions, please feel free to call us for additional information.

A Smart Blonde
Last year, I replaced all the
windows in my house with
those expensive double-pane
energy-efficient kind. Yester-
day I got a call from the con-
tractor who installed them. He
was complaining that the win-
dows had been installed a
whole year ago and I had never
paid for them yet.
Hellooooooooo? Now just
because I’m blonde doesn’t
mean that I am automatically
stupid. So I told him just ex-
actly what his fast-talking sales
guy had told me last year…
namely, that in just one year,
these windows would pay for
themselves!
Hellooooooooo? (I told
him.) “It’s been a year!”
There was only silence at
the other end of the line, so I
finally just hung up…
He hasn’t called back, prob-
ably too embarrassed about
forgetting the guarantee they
made me. Bet he won’t under-
estimate a blonde anymore.
