 Health
Maintenance and Assistance
This level of
RN supervised service is for the individual who
has chronic physical conditions and/or
significant memory issues. The involvement of a
RN manager and home health aides to monitor
conditions and communicate needs to families and
other medical providers is critical to
coordinate care
from
all providers and monitor conditions to avoid
further deterioration.
Condition of individual receiving services must
be stable and predictable. |

 Health
Care Management and Assistance
For those who are
recently discharged from a hospital, have
significant medical issues, chronic
conditions, or other specialized care needs,
continuing communication with physicians and other
medical providers is key. To prevent deterioration,
manage pain, and promote healing, the RN Care
Manager arranges for services, communicates with the
physicians, and manages care. She makes regular
contact, home visits, and supervises the nurse
delegated home health aide who provides care.
