When a little more support is needed
After illness, surgery, or a change in mobility, personal care tasks may become harder to manage. Home health aide services can provide assistance with approved daily care activities as part of an individualized home health plan. The team reviews the patient's needs, the help already available, and the tasks and visit schedule included in the plan. Discuss the specific support you need so expectations are clear before care begins.
Vanguard works with patients, families, and referring providers to clarify the requested skilled services. We review your location, referral, and coverage before planning visits. You can call to understand the process even if you are still gathering paperwork.
What to have ready
These details help the team understand the referral and avoid asking you to repeat information.
- The personal care activities that have become difficult
- Information about assistance already available from family or caregivers
- Current home health orders and questions about the planned visit schedule
Also have the patient’s city or ZIP code and insurance information nearby. Please share medical documents directly with the care team through the process they provide, rather than through the general website form.

Questions about home health aide services
Care is personal. These answers offer a starting point for a conversation about your needs.
Discuss coverage and eligibilityDoes Medicare cover home health aide services on their own?
Under Medicare's home health benefit, aide care is part-time or intermittent and requires qualifying skilled nursing or therapy services at the same time. Medicare does not cover personal care alone when it is the only care needed. Call to discuss your care plan, benefits, and other payment options.
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 prepare for a home health aide services inquiry?
Please have the personal care activities that have become difficult; information about assistance already available from family or caregivers; current home health orders and questions about the planned visit schedule. You can call before every document is available.
Which areas do you serve?
