Notice of Service Capabilities and Limitations
Services Offered Sunshine Home Health Care offers the following services: Nursing, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Medical Social Work, Home Health Aide/Bathing, and Medical Nutrition Therapy.
Patients We Serve Sunshine Home Health Care provides care for many different diagnoses and clinical presentations. Our patient population is generally adults, and our referrals come from hospitals, nursing facilities, provider offices, and congregate living facilities.
- Pediatric Care: We do not have clinicians who specialize in pediatric care.
- Specialized Care: Acceptance of patients with diagnoses that require specialized training is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. All referrals are reviewed by clinical leadership to ensure we can meet the needs of the patient. The following are examples of specialized care capabilities and limitations (this is not an exhaustive list):
- Wound Care: We provide wound care including sharp debridement, wound vacs, dressing changes, and chronic and acute skin integrity issues.
- Lymphedema: We manage many skin and circulatory conditions but do not provide daily lymphedema wrapping.
- Tracheostomies: We are not currently able to accept patients with new tracheostomies.
- Vestibular: We do assess for vestibular dysfunction but do not have therapists who specialize in the treatment of vestibular dysfunction at present.
- Dementia/Mental Health: We provide care to many with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia diagnoses but do not have specialization in mental health care.
- Neurological: We have clinical staff trained in the treatment of neurological deficits such as Parkinson’s Disease, CVA, and Spinal Cord injuries, but have limitations with new quadriplegic cases.
- Post-Operative: We provide a full range of post-operative care.
- Safety: We do not accept patients with current or known recent drug use, with violent tendencies, or other conditions where the safety of the home care providers would be in jeopardy.
Visit Frequency Policy Sunshine Home Health Care generally does not provide daily visits for any discipline, with limited exceptions. Our discipline frequencies range based on patient need, but daily needs of any particular discipline are often best met in an inpatient setting.
Exceptions to this are for very short duration and are approved by clinical leadership for specific cases, such as short-term daily nursing to teach caregivers, or daily PT for intensive training or crucial post-op care. When staffed for bathing visits, they are offered a frequency of 1 time/week.
Insurance and Qualifying Providers Sunshine Home Health Care accepts patients who have insurance that we are contracted with to provide care. We also provide care in private-pay situations.
In all cases, patients must be under the care of a qualifying provider who orders and signs for the home health services rendered (e.g., MD, DO, DPM, PA-C, and ARNP) and must meet the home health criteria set forth by their insurance company.
