Home health care is an excellent, cost-effective alternative to hospital or other institutional care. Service is based on the individual’s need as defined by his or her physician’s plan of care and may range from 24-hour-a-day care to monthly visits from skilled nurses, therapists, social workers and/or home health aides. Preferred Touch provides decades of experience and outstanding quality of care.

Home care provides health-related services to patients in their home, and is usually ordered by their primary physician to help aid recovery or provide ongoing treatment. For patients with home care needs that are not covered by their insurance, private care on behalf of Preferred Touch, provides an alternative with a customized system of care that is tailored to meet their unique needs.

To start you can submit a request via our website, or simply call our office to have one of our highly trained administrators connect you with the appropriate clinical manager. The clinical managers will work with your primary care doctor to develop a plan of care that will address all of your loved one’s needs. Private care starts at the door, so we will make sure to meet with you and discuss your ideal plan of care.

Preferred Touch has a team of highly motivated professionals with decades of combined experience caring for children with demanding health profiles. Your child will have a team of both RN’s (nurses) and clinical managers to help you schedule and plan every step of your loved one’s care plan. All of our staff is licensed and they undergo thorough background checks to provide you with peace of mind.

Preferred Touch provides coverage in Hillsborough, Manatee, Polk, Hardee, and Highlands. See a list of our locations on our website.

To determine the appropriate plan of care our licensed nurses will visit your home to sit down and map out your ideal home care environment, while also adhering to the instructions provided by the primary physician. We actively listen to our patients to better understand the unique challenges in order to foster a world class care plan. Simply call or submit your information online to schedule a visit.

That may include nursing; physical, occupational or speech/language therapy; medical social work; and/or home health aides to assist with personal care needs. We are able to provide service typically prescribed by a physician after hospitalization or a significant change in medical condition. While a physician must prescribe care, the patient has the right to select the provider of his/her choice.

Medicare, Medicaid or other health insurances may cover the cost of home health care services. Some insurance policies will not cover all home health care services unless certain conditions are met. You can still obtain care without insurance coverage through a private duty agency on a private pay basis. Additionally, some agencies may have funding to help people who cannot afford the private pay option. The home health care agency will be able to assist in determining if the services you need are covered or if you need to make other arrangements.
