Scope of Nonmedical Home Health Services and Clients Served

Defines the nonmedical home health services the Agency is licensed to provide under Ohio law (home health aide services and personal care services), lists the services the Agency actually offers, states plainly that it does not provide skilled nursing, therapy or medical social services, and sets the types of clients it accepts, the clients it refers elsewhere, and its hours, service area and languages. It is the service list and related policy the Agency files with its license application.
