Home Health agencies deliver brief and intermittent health care services directly to the homes of consumers. These services must be ordered by a doctor and can only be delivered in 60 day episodes. The types of services that home health agencies provide include: skilled nursing, therapeutic services (such as physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy), or home health aid services. Home Health agencies are required to offer more than two services. These agencies are reimbursed solely through Medicare or Medicaid.
Private Duty home care agencies, like SelectCare, also deliver health care services directly to the homes of consumers. Unlike home health agencies, private duty agencies deliver services for as long as the consumer wishes and the services are limited to two disciplines. Private duty agencies receive no payment from Medicare. They are reimbursed by the consumer from sources such as private pay, long-term care insurance or reverse mortgages.

Sitter/Companion – Performs companion services such as visiting, reading, writing letters, monitoring activity and sitting with the client.
Live-In – Performs companion/sitter and/or hands on care while staying at the client's home.
