To find a home health agency:
Go to the Medicare site. Follow the instructions to find an agency that best fits your needs.

NOTE: Your family physician, or the hospital may have an agency they prefer to use. Understand that YOU may choose a different one if you wish. If you have had home health care prior to a hospitalization, you should tell the case manager or discharge planner so they can refer you back when you go home.
