You Have the Right to Choose Your Home Health Care Service Provider

 Federal hospital law guarantees a person's right to choose the home care provider that he or she wants in their home. This is an important health care right and we understand how difficult this decision can be. There are many options available, and we respect your right to choose the services that meet your unique home care needs. If you are being discharged from a hospital, the Discharge Planner should work with you and your family to understand your home care needs based on your condition and expected recovery. If home care is recommended, the hospital is required to give you a list of all the home care agencies that can serve you at home, in addition to any hospital sponsored or owned home care services. It is your choice to decide who comes in your home and cares for you.
