Help understanding your options

A new diagnosis or change in health can leave you with instructions that are difficult to manage alone. Skilled nursing visits offer an opportunity to review the care plan, discuss changes, and learn which concerns to share with your physician. The focus is on the skilled need identified by your provider, not continuous supervision.

We serve Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, and Ventura Counties. Tell us where care is needed, which provider is involved, and whether there is an anticipated discharge date. You can ask questions before you have all the paperwork.

Read about coverage and eligibility

Getting started, one conversation at a time.

We help you understand what comes next, before services begin.

1

Tell us what has changed.

Share the city where care is needed, any recent discharge plans, and the skilled services your provider has recommended.

2

Review care and coverage.

We discuss the referral, service availability, and Medicare, insurance, or private-pay arrangements. Specific benefits and costs need individual review.

3

Plan the next step.

Our team explains what information is still needed and how provider-ordered care can be coordinated when appropriate.

Helpful details before you call

  • A current medication list, including recent changes
  • The name of the provider managing your care
  • Discharge paperwork and any home health orders
Will a nurse stay at my home all day?

Home health nursing is generally provided through scheduled skilled visits. Visit frequency depends on your needs, provider orders, and coverage. Tell us if you are also looking for ongoing personal assistance so expectations are clear.

Do you accept Medicare?

Yes. Vanguard accepts Medicare. Coverage depends on Medicare requirements, the ordered services, and individual eligibility. Call to discuss your referral and the information needed for a review.

Can I use insurance or private pay?

We accept most major insurance plans and private pay. Participation, benefits, authorization requirements, and patient costs vary by plan and service. We review these details before services begin.

What should I have ready when I call?

Helpful details include the city or ZIP code where care is needed, the referring provider’s name, discharge instructions, insurance information, and the type of skilled help recommended. You can still call with questions if you do not have everything yet.
