Element Care

To begin home health services like skilled nursing, physical therapy, hospice, or wound care at home, you’ll need a doctor’s referral if you want Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance to cover it. Once you have a referral, you can compare agencies based on quality ratings, nurse availability, and specialties. Our site makes it easy to find local agencies, message them directly, and get prequalified based on your specific health needs and insurance coverage. After that, expect a home health nurse to schedule an initial evaluation visit.

If you’re looking for independent living for seniors who are still active but want amenities like meals, housekeeping, or social activities, you can contact communities directly without a doctor’s involvement. Independent living is almost always private pay, so compare costs, amenities, location, and lifestyle fit carefully. Our site lets you browse options, message communities, and schedule tours easily to find the best match. The next step after prequalification is to arrange a community tour and discuss lease terms.
