Which service may accompany skilled home health services?

• A. Home Health Aide and Social Work
• B. Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy
• C. Medical Imaging
• D. Hospital Admission

Answer: (A)

The main concept is understanding which additional services commonly accompany skilled home health care to support daily functioning and care coordination. A Home Health Aide provides hands-on help with personal care tasks like bathing, dressing, and grooming, allowing patients to stay safely at home while receiving skilled medical services. Social work offers psychosocial assessment, resource coordination, and discharge planning to address barriers, caregiver support, and connections to community services. These two types of support complement the skilled interventions (such as nursing or therapy) without being the therapies themselves. Medical imaging isn’t typically performed in the home as part of standard home health, and hospital admission corresponds to an inpatient setting rather than a service that accompanies home health at home. Physical therapy and occupational therapy are themselves skilled therapies, and they are usually included as part of the home health plan of care rather than described as services that accompany it. Therefore, Home Health Aide and Social Work best fit as the accompanying services.
