Home Health Agencies in Delaware

Medicare-certified home health agencies send nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers and home health aides to the home under a doctor's plan of care. This is skilled, short-term, medical care, usually after a hospital or rehab stay. It is different from non-medical home care, which is regulated separately by each state, if at all.
