Skilled health visits, in the home.
Home health is clinical care delivered where a person lives. It is not the same as supportive housing. Aspen Living coordinates home health visits through a licensed partner provider for residents and clients in Salt Lake County who meet the qualifying criteria.
What home health includes
Skilled visits, not ongoing staffing.
Physical therapy
Evaluation and treatment for mobility, strength, and fall prevention. Visits are episodic, not continuous.
Occupational therapy
Evaluation and treatment for daily living skills, adaptive equipment, and home safety. Ordered by a physician.
Speech therapy
Evaluation and treatment for communication, swallowing, and cognitive function. Requires physician order and qualifying diagnosis.
Home health aide visits
Personal care assistance during an episode of care, ordered alongside skilled services. Not a substitute for 24-hour staffing.
Medical social work
Discharge planning, community resource coordination, and psychosocial support during an episode of care.
Important distinctions
What home health is not.
Home health is a covered Medicare and Medicaid benefit for people who meet specific qualifying criteria: the person must be homebound, must have a qualifying condition, and must have a physician order for skilled services. It is not available on request and it is not a substitute for residential staffing.
Aspen Living does not employ home health clinicians. We coordinate visits through a licensed partner provider. Aspen's role is to facilitate the connection, not to deliver clinical care directly. There is no onsite Aspen staff in a resident's home at any time.
If you are looking for around-the-clock residential staffing, that is a different service from a different kind of provider. We can point you toward those resources. If you are not sure what category of care applies, reach out and describe the situation. We will tell you honestly whether home health fits.
How home health is paid for
Home health is generally covered by Medicare Part A or Part B, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans when the qualifying criteria are met. Coverage is episode-based, not open-ended. The specific benefit period, covered visits, and cost-sharing depend on the person's insurance and diagnosis. We do not bill insurance directly. Our partner provider handles the billing and insurance coordination. We will tell you what to expect before any services begin.
