Testimonials
“From the beginning, this experience was pleasurable. Past experiences with home health services have not been, so we were a little nervous. But everyone, including your receptionist, was easy to work with. I’m glad you’re in this area if we need your services again. Please express our appreciation to everyone that assisted with my dad”.

“All of your staff were so kind and helpful. I cannot think how you could improve. The care I received was top of the line. Everyone was great. Thanks you so very much and God bless you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.  What is in-home telemonitoring and how does it work?
A.   Yadkin Valley Home Health uses the HomMed brand of telemonitoring equipment. These         devices are Class II, FDA approved for your safety. The monitor itself is about the size of a clock         radio. It is connected to your telephone line with a split jack, which maintains your current         telephone service without interruption. The monitor comes equipped with a blood pressure cuff, a         digital scale and a pulse oximeter. Other peripheral devices, such as a temperature probe and         glucometers can be added. The device alerts you at the same time each day and walks you         through, taking your own vital signs. These are sent via an 800 number to our office, where a         nurse reviews and acts on them as necessary.

Q.  How can I get home health services?
A.  Yadkin Valley Home Health offers skilled services, such as nursing, aides and rehabilitation.         These services must be ordered by a physician. Services are delivered in the comfort and         security of your own home and are fully covered by Medicare and Medicaid, if you meet their         criteria.
Q.  What is Lifeline?
A.   Lifeline is a personal response system. By simply wearing a necklace or bracelet that contains a         small button, you can call for help instantly. Lifeline is an affordable safety system for anyone who         lives alone.

Q.  I have private insurance. Does it cover home health services?
A.   Yes. Most major insurances cover skilled care and medical supplies. You can check with your         insurer or call us and we can research it for you.

Q.  Are there any eligibility criteria to receive services? I have Medicare       Advantage.
A.   Traditional Medicare, as well as the Medicare managed care programs like Advantage and         Partners, require that you be “homebound”. This means that in order to leave your home to         receive services (for example, for outpatient physical therapy), it would be a taxing effort on you.         Medicare feels that in-home services are only appropriate for people who cannot easily receive         these same services in other settings like outpatient clinics.
