Ah, Home Health in these parts, now THAT I know a fair bit about.

Be SURE you are not so "functional" that you get "discharged" from their visits any earlier than is absolutely necessary to YOUR way of thinking. You might feel "great" one moment while they are there and then find yourself sorely wishing they were scheduled to come back, the next-- but in the meantime, they can "discharge" you on a whim, no matter how great your benefits are. Really-- keep them please, as long as you possibly can.

When they visit-- remember, you are the patient, not a very, very nice lady with great manners far above what they usually see hereabouts. Patients get to be puny, crabby, weepy-- whatever you feel that is real, which will then become their guide to how long you need their services. OK? Don't "try" anything "too hard."
