     What is the Long Term Home Health Care Program?

The LTHHCP is an alternative to nursing home placement and a program to assist people of all ages to remain in their home during a long illness or recuperation. It is also a coordinated plan of health and personal services tailored to meet a specific person’s health, social and environmental needs. The LTHHCP assists relatives or friends in caring for persons who qualify for this program.

A frail, disabled, or chronically ill person of any age group is eligible if he or she:

• Is medically eligible for nursing home care in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) or a health related facility (HRF).
• Has an assessment completed by the LTHHCP team which indicates the client’s needs can be safely met through The Long Term Home Health Care Program.
• Has his or her physician’s approval for the Home Care Program.
• Is a Delaware County resident.

The cost of the home care should not exceed 75% of the cost for care in a skilled nursing facility or health related facility in Delaware County.
