Home Health

Home Health Care is a benefit under Medicare Part A with no co-pay or deductible. Most insurance companies pay for home health care at 80 – 100% depending on circumstances. Medicaid and other programs pay for home health care under certain circumstances. LifeSpring In-Home Care Network will verify and authorize insurance and other benefits on behalf of our patients.

Hospice

Hospice care at home is a compassionate, unique form of care for those faced with a terminal illness.

Our goal is to provide a comfortable and interdependent journey whose primary focus is the promotion of dignity and affirmation, honoring the quality of life for the patient, family members, and others close to them.

Services include providing comfort through pain and system management, along with spiritual and emotional support. Allowing the patient to remain where they live in peace and comfort for their remaining days affirms life in all stages, our care neither hastening nor prolonging the process.

Who is eligible for hospice?

Any individual who has a life-limiting illness with a life expectancy of 6 months or less if the terminal illness runs its normal course. The individual must elect hospice and choose to forego aggressive treatment for that illness. The patient’s eligibility must also be certified by a physician indicating that he/she is appropriate for hospice care.

Is a Doctor's referral required?

No. A referral may be submitted to LifeSpring In-Home Care Network by anyone. Working in concert with your primary care doctor and LifeSpring's team of physicians ensures a shared journey.
