Home healthcare encompasses a wide range of medical care and assistance. A team of skilled professionals and administrators provide specialized care within patients' homes under the direction of a physician. Services may include nursing care, rehabilitative therapy and assistance with personal care. Physicians often order home care after hospitalization or after a period of general mental instability.More >>

Payment for hospice services can be made through Medicare, Medicaid, worker's compensation, private insurance or private pay. For most services, there is no cost to patients if they qualify for Medicare. Some insurance companies may require pre-certification and may limit the length and type of hospice services Alacare can provide. Additionally, a deductible or a co-payment for service may be required.More >>
