What are public health home visits...
visits that are available, to all Benton County residents, with a physician order and
no charge to the patient
no other reimbursable care available
may include skilled nursing, home health aide, and medical social worker services
must be homebound (homebound definition is -- there exists a normal inability to leave home and consequently leaving their homes would require a considerable and taxing effort. If the patient does leave
home, they may still be considered home
bound if the absences from the home are
infrequent or for periods of relatively short duration such as going to the doctor's office.)
