A HOME HEALTH aide who works under the supervision of the registered nurse may come into the home to help with the personal care of the patient if the physician's written orders indicate the patient's need for personal care services. The specific personal care services to be provided by the home health aide must be determined by the nurse. Personal care duties which may be performed by a home health aide include assistance in the activities of daily living: helping the patient to fv bathe, to get in and out of bed, to care for his hair and teeth, to exercise and make medications specifically ordered by a physician which are ordinarily self-

administered. While the primary need of the patient for home health aide services furnished in the course of a particular visit may be for persona] care services furnished by the aide, the home health aide may also perform certain household services- which are i designated to the home i health aide in order to pre- I vent or postpone the pa- I tient's institutionalization. ] SOME MEDICAL sup- | plies and equipment essen- i tial in enabling home I health agency personal to carry our effectively the « physician's orders, are i supplied 'by the agency. < You would want to know i that at presdht Medicare Hand Book. Also, J Medicaid, Blue Cross, and some private insurers may cover the cost if you meet their requirments.

If you don't have an insurance plan that covers the cost of home health services and your doctor believes that you should have this service, the fee can be adjusted to meet your individual financial needs. Our Health Department's Home Health Agency will be happy to help you receive this service. If you questions about the financial arrangement, please ask. No one is ever permitted to go without needed medical care, due to inability to pay. We know how important staying in your own home can be. We want to do every-thing we can to make possible.
