What is home health?

​

Starting in 1994, Sunshine Home Care has provided over two decades of experience in nursing to home health in Mangum, OK. It is because of this experience that we specialize in helping guide people through understanding what home health care is and if it is the right choice for them.

​

Home health care is the practice of providing services such as skilled nursing or physical therapy in the place you find most comfortable: your own home. While either a need for skilled nursing or physical therapy is required to begin home health services in Mangum, OK, we offer others in addition to those such as occupational therapy and home care aides.

​

At Sunshine Home Care, our mission is to treat each patient as if they were part of our own family, and we strongly believe that every person has the right to make decisions about their care. We work with you and your doctor to determine the right care plan for your needs.

Who is home health for?

​

Typically, people age 65 or older on Medicare are the primary recipients of home health care. There are many reasons you might consider beginning home health services. Those reasons may include:

​

• A recent hospitalization

• New or uncontrolled diagnoses

• New or changed medication

• Recurrent falls

• New or non-healing wounds

• Planning a surgery

• Decline in function of daily living due to stroke, falls, or other medical incidents

• Disease diagnosis requiring management such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, congestive heart failure, COPD, or others

​

The decision to begin home health services is between you and your doctor. If you decide that home health is the best choice for you, your doctor will send an order for home health to the agency of your choice.
