Home Health provides care to patients at home-where they receive support from trained
medical professionals, family, friends, plus the comfort of familiar surroundings.
Regardless of age, everyone appreciates the comfort and convenience of
recovery in their home as an alternative to hospitalization or a nursing
home. Home healthcare may also mean earlier discharge from the hospital,
and lower healthcare costs. It is a personalized form of care, which may
be paid by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, or directly by the patient.

Home Health Telemonitoring
We’ve seen the commercials-a video “doorbell” that lets
you see and hear who is at your door. That kind of instant communication
is now helping patients at CCH Home Health with telemonitoring. The first
service of its kind offered at Campbell County Health in Gillette, Wyoming,
telemonitoring transmits clinical information like blood pressure from
the patient’s home to trained home health nurses in about four minutes.
If the home health nurse determines that a patient could benefit from home
monitoring, patients receive a kit that contains a scale, blood pressure
cuff, pulse oximeter (to measure oxygen levels in the body) and a transmitter.
Additional equipment, like a glucometer (a device that measures blood
sugar levels) can be added to the kits. The patient is then trained to
use the equipment until they feel comfortable doing it without a Home
Health nurse.

Hospice
Hospice is a special kind of care for people with life-limiting illnesses. Hospice
is not a place, it is an all-encompassing approach to the care provided
in the comfort of your home or where you call home. Hospice care addresses
the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient through comfort
care, symptom and pain management and other life-limiting or terminal
illnesses.
