We bring experienced clinicians, clear communication, and a plan that fits your goals. Below is a quick look at the core services available in Carmel.
Who qualifies & how to start
Getting care with VNA is simple. We help you confirm eligibility, talk with your doctor, and set up the first visit. Our team can guide you by phone and answer questions anytime.
- Home health: You may qualify if you are under a doctor’s care, need part-time skilled nursing or therapy, and it is a real effort to leave home. Ask your physician to refer you to VNA or call our referral line to request an evaluation. Medicare is eligible when the criteria are met.
- Hospice: Hospice is right when a physician certifies a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness follows its usual course. You or a family member can call us to review goals and see if hospice is the best fit. Medicare benefits are available for eligible patients.
Insurance, costs & Medicare basics
We work with you to avoid surprises. Before care begins, we review your coverage, copays, and any out-of-pocket costs, then provide a clear plan.
- Home health: Medicare covers medically necessary, part-time skilled services when eligibility rules are met. You can compare agencies and outcomes on Medicare Care Compare to make an informed choice. Medicare coverage is available for qualified services.
- Hospice: Under Medicare Part A, hospice usually covers services, medicines, equipment, and supplies related to the terminal illness. Small copays may apply for respite or certain inpatient stays. The Medicare hospice benefit applies to eligible patients.
Our team also works with Medi-Cal and many private plans. We will review your coverage and expected costs before care begins, and we are here to help you every step of the way.
