Home Health
The home health program provides traditional home health services
including skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy,
speech therapy, medical social work, and home health aide to clients
over the age of 16 in six counties: Audrain, Boone, Callaway, Cooper,
Howard and Randolph. Home health care services are usually for acute
episodes of illness and are typically time limited. |
Skilled nursing services at Sinclair Home Care

The payers for this program include Medicare,
Medicaid, and Private Insurances. Currently, Sinclair Home Care is
contracted with United Healthcare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, First Health,
MultiPlan, and Mercy. MU Sinclair Home Care continues to work with
the University of Missouri Health Care to be added to additional insurance
contracts. |
Private Pay
All of the home care services are available via private pay. The
services which are used the most include medication management and
home health aide services.
Medication Management
Sinclair Home Care can administer medications or set up medication
planners/dispensers including the iMD.2 medication dispensing machine
to help clients remember to take medications. Sinclair Home Care staff
assess how the medications are working and work with the clients and
their families to determine the best method to help clients remember
to take their medications. |
Physical therapy services at Sinclair Home Care
|
Home Health Aide
Home Health Aide services are delivered under the supervision of
a registered nurse or licensed therapist. You and your nurse/therapist
will develop the plan of care to be followed by your home health aide.
Typical duties include assistance with bathing/showering, shampooing
your hair, dressing/undressing, grooming, changing bed linens, and
assistance with other activities of daily living. |
Aging in Place
A major goal of Aging in Place (AIP) is to develop a new approach
for long term care services for on-going assessment, early illness
recognition, health promotion activities, and services designed to
meet individual needs when the person needs them in the privacy of
their own apartment. It is the goal of the program to help older people
stay healthier and active longer, avoid expensive and debilitating
hospitalizations, and for most residents, avoid relocation to a nursing
home. |
