Home Health cannot provide Medicare covered hospice services such as beds, oxygen, commodes, etc., drugs for pain and symptom control, inpatient care for family respite, bereavement support, volunteer availability, or hospice continuity of care. While many of the services that hospice offers, such as bathing, light housekeeping are similar to Home Health, there are significant differences and we provide assistance in helping you understand the benefits of each.
