During your first visit with Blue Hills Therapeutics, a skilled nurse or therapist will spend time getting to know you through a comprehensive assessment. This detailed evaluation is a cornerstone of our collaborative approach to your health, designed to understand your unique needs and overall well-being.
Our goal is not only to provide expert hands-on care but also to empower you and your family or caregivers with the education and tools necessary for effective self-care and disease prevention. We work closely with your doctor to ensure that your care plan supports your long-term health and recovery.
This team-centered approach helps ease your transition from the hospital or nursing facility back into the comfort of your own home. By actively involving you and your loved ones in your care, we foster confidence, independence, and a smoother journey toward better health.

Absolutely. A clinician from Blue Hills Therapeutics will visit your home to carefully assess your individual needs. From the very beginning, you will be an important part of the care planning process.

Our dedicated home health care team will carry out the physician-prescribed plan with skill and attention, while maintaining ongoing communication with your doctor to keep them informed of your progress. Should your condition or needs change at any point, we’ll promptly collaborate with your doctor to review and adjust your care plan, ensuring you continue to receive the most appropriate and effective support.

Being considered homebound means that your health condition makes it unsafe or extremely difficult for you to leave your home without help from others or the use of assistive devices like crutches, canes, walkers, or wheelchairs. Leaving the house often requires significant effort and can be physically taxing.
That said, you are generally still able to leave your home for essential medical appointments that cannot be provided in your home setting without losing your homebound status. Additionally, brief and infrequent outings for non-medical reasons—such as visiting the barber or beauty shop, attending religious services, or participating in special family occasions like graduations—are also permitted.
Our goal is to support you in staying safe and comfortable in your home while ensuring you receive the care and support you need.

Provided you meet eligibility requirements, Medicare may pay for your covered home health care for as long as you’re eligible and your doctor certifies that you need it.
Additionally, your state’s Medicaid program or your private insurance also may cover home health care, or some services that Medicare doesn’t cover. Check with your state Medicaid program or insurance company to learn about their specific eligibility requirements.
Our staff is happy to help determine whether you meet coverage criteria. To learn more, feel free to contact us.

At Blue Hills Therapeutics, we understand that home means different things to different people. Your residence—whether it's a house, apartment, the home of a loved one, or a senior living community—is where you feel most comfortable, and that’s where we bring our care.
For the purposes of home health care, a “home” can be almost any living environment except for hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, or intermediate care institutions. These settings are not considered home under Medicare guidelines. Our services are designed to support you wherever you live, so long as it's a place where you can safely receive care outside of a medical facility.
