HOME HEALTH AGENCY
The Salina-Saline County Home Health Agency, a
Medicare certified and Kansas State Licensed Agency, has been
serving residents with intermittent home health services since 1966. For
more information about the Home Health Agency contact us at 785-826-6606
or send us an email.
Salina-Saline County Home Health Agency provides high quality health
care that allows patients to recover, or live with illness, in the
comfort and safety of their own homes, surrounded by family and friends.
By providing care, education, and support, we help patients become
independent in managing their care.
Home care visits may be made by registered nurses, physical therapists,
occupational therapists, speech language therapists, home health aides,
and homemakers depending on the individualized plan of care, tailored to
each patient’s specific needs.
Examples of patients receiving home health include those who have, or
have had

All skilled nursing care is provided 7 days a week. Nurses are also
on-call
24 hours every day for those who may need assistance.
Therapy services, Home Health Aide, and Homemaker services are provided
Monday through Friday 8 a.m. through 4:30 p.m.
Home care services are usually paid for by Medicare, Medicaid (HCBS) and
private insurance. There are certain medical and eligibility
requirements that need to be met before Medicare, Medicaid (HCBS) or
other insurance companies will authorize care. Our staff will work with
you and your insurance company to coordinate benefits.
We also participate with the North Central Flint Hills Area Agency on
Aging to offer services through the Senior Care Act and Older Americans
Act.
Private pay for services is an option as well for services not covered
by insurance.
You, your family, or your doctor can call our agency when home care
services are needed. We will coordinate your care with your physician,
who supervises the services you receive.
