Home Health Care is one of the fastest growing industries in the nation today. This is caused by an increased elderly population, the prevalence of chronic illnesses, and increasing hospital costs.
As part of Care for Life Home Health, Inc.’s dedication to continuously promoting improvement in quality, efficiency, and outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries, we have redesigned our care delivery to promote more effective, efficient, and high-quality care processes. This is an important step in how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is moving towards achieving better value, outcomes, and patient-focused care instead of the volume of services provided.
Our goal is to provide a value-based agency and not just quality outcomes. We are more than reducing re-hospitalizations but focusing on using evidence-based practice because we believe that it is the “Standard of Care.”
Our Home Health Care includes the following:
Skilled Nursing
Physical Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Speech Therapy
Medical Social Services
Home Health Aide
Specialty Services:
Infusion Therapy Services
Home Infusion Therapy is an excellent alternative for patients to receive infusion therapy services in the comfort of their homes. Our home infusion Registered Nurse is familiar with all types of peripheral and central lines for intravenous infusion and performs a comprehensive assessment with each nursing visit. The nurse also trains the patient or caregiver on how to properly administer medications at home, monitors the patient’s progress throughout the therapy, and reports progress or complications to the ordering physician. The Home Infusion Pharmacist also performs a thorough assessment and helps identify any potential issues that can adversely affect the patient. They also deliver the medication and all the necessary supplies for infusion directly to the patient’s home.
CFLHH reviews a patient’s insurance benefits prior to infusion therapy. The patient and caregivers are informed of coverage and any financial responsibility.
Wound Care
Bringing Healing at Home
Caring for patients with chronic wounds is an increasing problem, and choosing a provider that recognizes and addresses the needs of these patients is so vital. Wound care patients often have co-morbidities and chronic conditions as health care evolves towards a patient Centered Care Model, a comprehensive treatment that extends beyond the wound itself and ensures effective wound management and prevention. Studies showed that patient outcomes are better when care is provided in an environment of focused expertise.

Who is a Candidate?
Heal at Home™ Program specializes in the evaluation and treatment of acute and chronic, non-healing wounds resulting from Diabetes, Peripheral Arterial/Vascular Disease, post surgical complications which can be exacerbated by obesity, poor nutrition and infection. As the aging population grows, so is the risk of developing pressure ulcers.
Consider the following statistics:
- Approximately 900,00 Americans experience diabetic foot ulcer each year which require an outpatient provider to see them at least 12 times a year and they still end up in the hospital 2 times a year.
- Three million Americans experience venous leg ulcer which is usually caused by disease veins.
- Pressure ulcers in the elderly is associated with a fivefold increase in mortality and a fifth of pressure ulcers develop at home.
We certainly understand the seriousness and challenges of the above conditions so we develop strategies of care that are proven to work and implemented individualized treatment options as well as general wound management principles applicable to all varieties of chronic wounds.
