Deer Meadows Home Health and Support Services

Who This Works For

Those who require Skilled Home Care, such as your parent, who is coming home from the hospital and requires wound care. Or they were in Rehab and need nursing and therapy follow-up and monitoring. Or they have Congestive Heart Failure or any other chronic care disease and need someone checking on them regularly and reporting observations as their condition changes to the physician.

Deer Meadows works with Philadelphia-area families navigating that transition from hospital or rehab back home. They do both the medical side of things (skilled nursing, therapy, monitoring) and the supportive care side (help with daily living, personal care, companionship).

This matters if you’re trying to figure out whether your loved one needs insurance-covered skilled services or private pay support, or both.

Before You Call

Deer Meadows is based in the Northeast section at 8301 Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Department of Health lists them as both a licensed home health provider and a home care agency. They’re CHAP accredited, which is an oversight credential.

Here’s the thing: Skilled Home health and Private Pay supportive care are different. A nurse coming to manage your mom’s wound or monitor her heart condition after discharge is Skilled Home Health. Someone helping her bathe and prepare meals is often supportive care. Deer Meadows does both, but they work differently. Skilled services may need a physician’s order. Private pay support does not. Coverage and costs differ.

Ask them directly which type of service your loved one needs. That’s the first conversation.

What They Offer

Skilled nursing at home. Personal care assistance. Bathing, dressing, grooming help. Meal prep. Light housekeeping. Medication management. Taking vital signs and monitoring. Post-hospital and post-rehabilitation support. Working with your dad’s doctors to coordinate care.

They also list specialized care for specific conditions. That includes fall prevention. Congestive heart failure monitoring. COPD or pulmonary disease support. Diabetes education and daily management. Advanced wound care.

Confirm with them which services are available right now and whether your loved one’s situation requires a physician’s order.

Cost and Insurance

Deer Meadows works with both insurance-covered skilled home health and private pay supportive care. Skilled services usually require a physician order and depend on medical need and insurance eligibility. Private pay support gets arranged differently.

Ask them what Medicare, Medicaid, Community HealthChoices, or your private insurance might cover. Also ask about minimum visit requirements, whether they can start right after discharge from a hospital or rehab center, and private pay pricing.

Questions to Ask

Before you pick up the phone, think about these:

If Skilled nursing is needed, what does a typical care plan look like after someone comes home from the hospital?

Skilled Nursing: Can you manage my mom’s wound care, or do we need a different agency for that?

For private non-skilled care: What’s your minimum number of visits or hours per week, and how long do care visits typically last?

If my parent’s condition changes during their recovery, can the care plan adjust quickly?

What happens if the nurse or aide who’s been working with my parent gets sick or leaves?

Do you have nurses and aides available for the specific ZIP code where my loved one lives?

Can private home care aides cue my parent to take their medications if we put them in a medication planner?

What’s your experience with the specific condition my parent is dealing with? Do you have staff trained in it?
