Skilled Nursing & Home Health at Home — Medicare-Certified
Medicare-certified RN visits, wound care, IV administration, vital monitoring, plus PT/OT/Speech therapy at home — for clients who need clinical care but want to stay out of the nursing facility. Medicare Part A covered when eligibility is met.
Skilled Nursing at Home May Be 100% Covered by Medicare.
When a patient is homebound, a physician orders skilled care, and there's a documented clinical need — Medicare Part A covers skilled nursing, wound care, IV therapy, PT, OT, and speech therapy at home. No copay. No deductible for qualifying visits.

What A-Team Skilled Nursing & Home Health Includes
Clinical care delivered in the home by licensed registered nurses and credentialed therapists — under physician order, coordinated with your treatment team.
RN Skilled Visits
Registered nurse in-home visits for clinical assessment, patient education, medication management, and care coordination with the ordering physician.
Wound Care
RN assessment and treatment for patients requiring wound care at home after surgery or hospitalization — including surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries, and complex dressing changes with infection monitoring.
IV Therapy
Home IV antibiotic administration, hydration therapy, and other physician-ordered infusion services — reducing inpatient length of stay.
Vital Sign Monitoring
Systematic blood pressure, oxygen saturation, weight, temperature, and pulse monitoring — with structured reporting to the physician for CHF, COPD, and diabetes management.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy at home for mobility restoration, strength rebuilding, balance training, and fall prevention after surgery or neurological event.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy for activities of daily living retraining, adaptive equipment recommendation, home safety evaluation, and fine motor rehabilitation.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy for swallowing disorders (dysphagia), aphasia, cognitive-communication deficits, and voice disorders following stroke or neurological injury.
Disease Management
Structured in-home programs for diabetes, CHF, COPD, and chronic conditions — including medication education, symptom tracking, and hospital re-admission prevention.
4 Clinical Situations That Most Often Lead to A-Team Skilled Nursing
Skilled nursing is the right fit when the care need requires a licensed clinician — not an aide or companion.
Post-surgical wound care — discharged home but not fully healed
After joint replacement, cardiac surgery, abdominal surgery, or any procedure that leaves a wound requiring clinical monitoring — home is safer and more comfortable than a skilled nursing facility. A-Team's RN manages the wound dressing, monitors for infection, and reports to the surgeon on schedule. Medicare Part A typically covers these visits in full.
Diabetic management at home — uncontrolled or newly diagnosed
Newly insulin-dependent diabetics, patients with uncontrolled A1C, and those with diabetic wounds need structured skilled nursing intervention at home — not just a reminder to take their pills. A-Team RNs provide insulin education, blood glucose monitoring protocols, dietary counseling coordination, and diabetic wound care in the home.
Stroke rehab — returning home from the hospital or inpatient rehab facility
After a stroke, the rehab doesn't stop at discharge. A-Team's coordinated home health team — RN, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and speech therapist — continues the rehab program at home. This is a Medicare-covered benefit when the patient is homebound and meets the skilled need criteria.
Hospice transition support — clinical comfort care at home
When a patient is transitioning toward comfort-focused care, skilled nursing at home provides the clinical framework: pain assessment, medication management, symptom control, and family education. A-Team coordinates with hospice programs and the patient's care team. For families also needing personal care or respite care alongside skilled visits, A-Team provides integrated support.
How A-Team Skilled Nursing & Home Health Works
From physician order to first RN visit — a streamlined intake that reduces gaps in post-acute care.
Physician Order & Referral
A hospital discharge planner, primary care physician, or specialist places the home health order. A-Team accepts referrals by fax, phone, or electronic health record. Families can also call (215) 490-9994 — we coordinate the order directly.
Free RN Home Assessment
A registered nurse comes to the home, reviews the discharge summary, assesses the patient, and develops a comprehensive care plan aligned with the physician's orders. Medicare documentation completed at this visit.
Skilled Visit Schedule
The RN and therapy team schedule visits based on clinical need — typically 2–5 skilled visits per week in the first episode. The patient and family know the schedule in advance and receive RN contact information.
Coordinated Care & Discharge Planning
A-Team RNs communicate directly with the ordering physician, provide progress notes, and adjust the care plan at 60-day certification periods. When skilled needs resolve, A-Team transitions the client to ongoing personal care or companion care as needed.

Clinical Care With the Human Element Intact
The difference between home-based skilled nursing and institutional care isn't just location. At home, the RN visit is one-on-one with the patient and family — no ward rounds, no shared rooms, no strangers in the next bed. Family members learn what to watch for. The physician gets direct reports from the nurse who has actually been in the home.
A-Team RNs are not traveling from patient to patient in a facility — they are in your loved one's home, with your loved one's complete medical history and care plan in hand. That is a fundamentally different standard of clinical attention.

Skilled Nursing + Personal Care — Same Agency, No Gaps
Many skilled nursing clients also need daily personal care — bathing, dressing, transfers, and meal prep — between RN visits. A-Team provides both under the same care plan. The RN supervises the home health aide, ensuring that hands-on care stays aligned with the clinical picture. No handoffs. No duplicate intakes. One agency, two levels of care.
