Home Health program 

Columbus Community Hospital’s Home Health program offers skilled health services in your home. The program is medically directed and designed for patients of all ages who are recovering from surgery or injury or living with chronic health conditions. It is offered on an intermittent basis, not on a continuous basis. 

CCH’s Home Health program is Medicare and Medicaid certified and meets the requirements of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). 

Who qualifies for Home Health?

To be eligible for CCH’s Home Health services, patients must: 
  • Be homebound.
  • Require skilled intermittent care. 
  • Have been ordered to receive care by a licensed physician who provides a plan of care. 
  • Need at least one of the following: intermittent skilled nursing care, physical therapy or speech/language therapy. 
  • Live within the licensed service area. 
Hear what some of our patients have to say about their experience with CCH’s Home Health: 

"It’s extremely reassuring to know you have a team of specialists there to help 24/7. When I had a medical issue in the middle of the night and needed help, we called the Home Health nurse line. Half an hour later at two in the morning, a nurse was at our house and knew exactly what to do. These ladies are positive and pleasant and true professionals." – Robert G. 

For more testimonials and information on CCH’s Home Health program, see our most recent home health and hospice annual report.
