Professional Home Care Advantages

Most patients prefer primary care and podiatry services provided at home in familiar surroundings. Direct Patient Care Services in the home embody the principles of respecting the values and needs of a patient with complete care coordination and integration of care, education, emotional support and managed transitions.

Physician house calls dramatically improve seniors’ access to quality care. At least 1 million seniors are permanently homebound and 2-3 million more cannot easily access physician offices without assistance. As a result, many seniors critically require access to regular, ongoing, coordinated care.

Many of these patients are “high cost” users with five or more chronic conditions. Studies have shown that 10% of all Medicare beneficiaries consume 60% of Medicare expenditures (“Chronic Conditions: Making the Case for Ongoing Care,” p. 19, Partnership for Solutions, Johns Hopkins University, for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (December, 2002); CBO report (May, 2005).
