Medical Services

Because the Homesteads are “home” settings, residents may      receive services from home health agencies. Private care is provided by ASK…for Home Care, a licensed home health agency, but they may also receive services from other agencies. ASK coordinates care from Medicare agencies so residents can utilize that benefit when eligible.
