Home Health Care Agencies

By delivering skilled care services such as nursing, supervision with medicines and physical therapies, as well as simpler daily tasks such as dressing, bathing or eating, home health workers allow patients to remain in familiar surroundings while on the road to recovery.

In Connecticut, agencies which dispatch nurses and aides to the homes of those in need are licensed under two distinct categories:

• Home Health Care Agencies. These organizations provide professional nursing services, homemaker/home health aide services, physical therapies, speech therapies, occupational therapies and medical social services in a patient’s home (or equivalent environment), available 24 hours per day. Other services which may be provided include delivery of meals, transportation, live-in companionship/supervision, management of medical supplies and home maintenance.

Certain home health care agencies are also certified to participate in the Federal Hospice Medicare Program. These agencies provide care to terminally ill patients and their families. Physician care, nursing, therapies, counseling, medical social services, homemaker/home health aide services, medical supplies, respite care and acute hospital care may be included.

• Homemaker/Home Health Aide Agencies. These organizations provide supportive services in the home, which may include assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, feeding and essential household tasks, under the supervision of a Connecticut-licensed registered nurse. Other services which may be available are social work, therapies, transportation, live-in companionship/supervision, management of medical supplies, meals delivery and home maintenance.

Fees for services vary from agency to agency. It is the responsibility of the agency to provide the potential patient and/or responsible party with a description of available services, unit charges and billing mechanisms. All or part of the services provided by a home health care agency may be paid for by patient/family, Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, private insurance, Workman’s Compensation, the Veterans Administration or other federal and state programs. Homemaker/home health aide agencies do not accept Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement for services.

The following is a list of home health care agencies (including those with hospice certification) and homemaker/home health aide agencies. Each agency is licensed by the State of Connecticut’s Department of Public Health. Organized by county, our listing includes the most up-to-date information available from the State of Connecticut:
