Frequently Asked Questions

Home Health provides skilled medical care and therapy in a patient’s home. Services may include nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social work, and other specialized care designed to help patients recover, manage health conditions, and remain safely at home.

Hospice provides compassionate, comfort-focused care for people living with a terminal illness. Care addresses physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs while supporting both the patient and family and helping preserve comfort, dignity, and quality of life.

Home Health is generally focused on recovery, rehabilitation, or managing a health condition with skilled care at home. Hospice is intended for patients with a life-limiting illness whose care goals have shifted from curative treatment toward comfort, symptom management, and quality of life.

Eligibility depends on the patient’s medical needs and insurance requirements. For Medicare-covered Home Health, a healthcare provider must order the care, the patient must need qualifying skilled services, and generally must meet Medicare’s definition of being homebound. Aquinas can help determine whether Home Health may be appropriate.
Hospice may be appropriate when a patient has a terminal illness with a life expectancy of approximately six months or less if the illness follows its expected course. Eligibility is based on the patient’s diagnosis, condition, functional changes, and clinical assessment.
Yes, Medicare covers qualifying Home Health and Hospice services when eligibility requirements are met. Covered Home Health services generally have no patient cost under Original Medicare, while Medicare Part A provides a comprehensive hospice benefit for eligible patients; certain medications, equipment, respite care, or other services may have additional costs.
The timing depends on the type of care needed, physician orders, eligibility, insurance verification, and clinical availability. Once a referral is received, the Aquinas team can review the patient’s needs and help determine the appropriate next steps for beginning care.
To refer a patient or loved one, contact Aquinas or complete the referral form with basic information about the person needing care. A member of the care team can then follow up to discuss needs, eligibility, and next steps.
Aquinas serves communities throughout the Kansas City metro and surrounding areas in Kansas and Missouri, with the new Aquinas organization also serving the Great Bend region. Contact the team to confirm whether Home Health or Hospice services are available at a specific address. The current Home Health site specifically lists Douglas, Franklin, Johnson, Leavenworth, Miami, Wyandotte, Cass, Clay, Jackson, Lafayette, and Platte counties.
