⭐ #1 Home Care Agency in Philadelphia Area and Suburbs — Seniors · Pediatric · Veterans
When a loved one needs skilled nursing, therapy, or wound care at home, often right after a hospital stay, A-Team delivers Medicare-certified, physician-directed, RN-led home health across Philadelphia and the surrounding counties.
Home › Home Health Care
If you are an adult family member managing a parent’s recovery at home, you may qualify to be paid as their caregiver while A-Team’s nurses handle the skilled clinical care.
SKILLED + NON-MEDICAL CARE
Physician-ordered clinical care delivered in the home by licensed professionals, RN-led and Medicare-certified, with non-medical personal care under the same roof.
WHAT IT IS
Medicare-certified home health care delivers skilled nursing, therapy, and aide services in the home under a physician-signed plan of care. It is skilled, intermittent clinical care delivered by licensed professionals, paid primarily by Medicare Part A. Home care, by contrast, is non-medical help with bathing, dressing, and meals. A-Team provides both under one roof, so families do not have to choose one agency for clinical care and another for daily support.

WHO HOME HEALTH CARE IS FOR
Most A-Team home health patients come to us in one of these four situations.
After a hospital or rehab stay, a physician can order skilled nursing and therapy at home. A-Team starts care within 48 hours of discharge so recovery continues safely.
For diabetes, CHF, COPD, or another chronic illness, scheduled RN visits and monitoring help keep your loved one stable and out of the hospital.
Skilled clinical tasks that cannot be safely handled by family are delivered in the home by A-Team’s registered nurses.
For patients for whom leaving home is a considerable and taxing effort, Medicare-covered home health brings the clinical team to them.
INSURANCE & PAYMENT
Most families pay nothing out of pocket for the Medicare home health benefit. A-Team also accepts a wide range of other payers.
Medicare Part A pays 100% of skilled nursing, therapy, social work, and aide visits in the plan of care, with no deductible or copay. Durable medical equipment is covered at 80% under Part B.
Pennsylvania’s managed long-term services program, the primary payer for non-medical personal care. A-Team is in-network with Keystone First, UPMC, and PA Health & Wellness.
VA Aid & Attendance and the VetAssist Program for veterans, the OPTIONS program through the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, long-term care insurance, and private pay.
WHO QUALIFIES
When a patient meets all five, Medicare Part A pays 100% of the home health benefit, with no deductible and no copay for covered services.
HOW IT WORKS
From the physician’s order to your first skilled visit, typically within 48 hours of discharge.
Call (215) 490-9994, or have your hospital case manager fax the discharge order with the signed plan of care. We confirm Medicare eligibility the same day.
A registered nurse comes to the home, completes the assessment, and builds the physician-signed plan of care. No charge.

AGING IN PLACE
When the Medicare home health episode ends, the same A-Team caregiver can continue as personal-care support, with no new intake, no caregiver transfer, and no gap in coverage. The AARP 2024 Home and Community Preferences Survey found that 75% of adults age 50 and older want to stay in their current home as they age. The 60-day Medicare episode handles the acute recovery; A-Team’s personal care and the Family Caregiver Program carry the long-term support that follows.
