Skilled Home Health Care

What is Skilled Home Health Care?

Skilled Home Health Care is for Veterans needing short-term care as they are moving from a hospital or nursing home back to their home. It can also be used to provide continuing care to people with ongoing needs.

The program is for Veterans who need skilled services such as: skilled nursing, case management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, wound care, or IV antibiotics.

Skilled Home Health Care can be used in combination with other Home and Community Based Services.

The care is delivered by a community based home health agency that has a contract with VA.
