In short

  • The Agency may give skilled home health care only while its Ohio Department of Health license is current.
  • Describe our services accurately. Never offer a service the Agency does not provide.
  • If anyone from the Ohio Department of Health calls, writes or visits, tell the Administrator the same day.
  • Changes such as a new address, a new service or a new owner must be reported to the state within ten days, so tell the Administrator right away.
  • Help surveyors when they visit and answer their questions honestly.
