CHRISTUS Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Houston
If your doctor decides you need home health care, you have the freedom to choose from any home care agencies that serve your geographic area and can provide you with the care and services you need. Your choice should be honored by your doctor, hospital discharge planner, or other referring agency. Although you have a say in which agency you use, your choices may be limited by agency availability or by your insurance coverage. When selecting from several home care agencies, there are several factors to consider.
You can use the quality measures found here and information in the resources section of our website to review what measures matter most to you and compare those measures between CHRISTUS HomeCare agencies. Quality measures give you information about how well home care agencies provide certain care for some of their patients. However, this data is only one factor to consider when you are making a choice. Other factors include asking your doctor, hospital discharge planner, or social worker for recommendations. You can ask friends about their home health care experiences, or use a senior community referral service or other community services. Home care agencies operate differently, and one may meet your needs better than another.
