What is home health care and how is it different from in‑home personal care?
Home health care generally refers to skilled medical or nursing services provided in the home under a care plan — such as wound care, IV therapy or skilled nursing oversight. By contrast, in‑home personal care focuses more on non‑medical assistance with daily living activities (e.g., bathing, grooming, meals). At Unity 1 Home Health Care, we provide both skilled nursing and aide services, giving a more integrated option.
How do I know if home health care is a good option for me or my loved one in Portsmouth?
Home health care may be appropriate if you or your loved one are recovering from a hospital stay, need skilled nursing or therapy at home, or require help with daily living activities but wish to remain at home. We at Unity 1 can assess the situation, talk with your physician, and recommend a home care plan that fits your needs.
Does insurance or Medicare cover home health care services in Ohio?
Many insurance plans and Medicare do cover home health care services when medically necessary and when ordered by a physician. We can help you verify coverage and guide you through any required documentation.
What happens if my condition worsens or changes?
Our care team monitors progress and changes in condition. If your needs grow or shift, we can adjust your care plan, increase skilled nursing visits, coordinate with doctors or therapists, and modify support services accordingly.
What qualifications do home health care aides and nurses at Unity 1 have?
Our nurses (RNs/LPNs) and aides (HHAs, CNAs, STNAs) are licensed or certified as required in Ohio. They receive ongoing training and are selected for their professionalism, empathy and reliability — because we understand trust is essential in-home care.
How do you ensure safety and quality of care in the home environment?
We follow established care protocols, monitor outcomes, maintain clear communication with your physician and care team, and perform regular assessments. We also ensure that aides assist safely with tasks like transfers, mobility support, medication reminders, and errands.
Can you provide care services outside typical business hours or weekends?
While our administrative hours are Monday through Friday 8:30 AM–4:30 PM, we arrange for care services 24/7 as needed based on the patient’s care plan. Our team can coordinate schedules, emergency support and on‑call arrangements.
