When your doctor recommends home health care, it’s natural to have questions. How does it work? How quickly does care begin? Who do you call if you need help?

At Traditional Home Health Care, we believe families deserve clear answers and confident guidance—so you can focus on recovery, not confusion.

Do I Need a Doctor’s Order for Home Health Care?

Yes. Skilled home health services must be ordered by a physician. This includes care provided by nurses, therapists, social workers, and home health aides.

Your doctor works with our team to ensure you receive the right level of care based on your medical needs.

How Often Will Care Be Provided?

The frequency of visits depends on your individual needs and your physician’s orders. When you begin care, we create a personalized plan that outlines your services and schedule.

This plan is reviewed with you so you always understand what to expect and feel confident in your care.

How Quickly Can Services Start?

In most cases, home health services begin within 24 hours after we receive your physician’s referral. If your doctor recommends a specific start date, we will coordinate care accordingly.

Our goal is to begin support as quickly and smoothly as possible—so you’re never left waiting when care is needed.

How Do I Contact Your Team?

We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to support you and your family.

Call us anytime at (570) 207-9286

Whether you have questions, need assistance, or want to start services, our team is always here to help.

Can I Choose My Home Health Provider?

Yes. You have the right to choose your home health care provider. Federal law allows patients to select the agency they feel most comfortable with under Medicare.

If your doctor recommends home health care, you can request Traditional Home Health Care by name.
