Acceptance of Patients

Home health care cannot assume the primary responsibility for a patient’s safety in the home setting. Home care works best in situations where there are supportive family and friends if the patient cannot be left safely in the home alone.

Acceptance of individuals who require skilled home services is based on whether the agency can adequately meet the individual’s nursing, therapy, and psychosocial needs in their home.

We may accept patients when the following conditions are met:

• It is safe for the patient to be in the home alone or has a caregiver who provides care when the agency is not in the home.
• Is under the care of a physician who will oversee and collaborate orders of skilled cares needed.
• Is in the need of skilled services and the agency staff is available to meet the required cares.
• The house is maintained in a manner safe for the patient and our clinicians.
• An appropriate payer source is identified

Please contact one of our locations and speak with us to determine what care is appropriate.

It is the policy of BRiO Home Health and Hospice to provide service to all persons without regard to race, creed, color, religion, sex, age, disability, citizenship, and national or ethnic origin, in compliance with 45 CFR parts 80, 84, and 91 respectively. We do not deny admission to individuals with contagious disease including HIV, MRSA, Hepatitis B unless the State Department of Health has concurred with our decision on a case by case basis.
