The Division of Senior and Adult Services offers skilled care services to help seniors and adults with disabilities age successfully and independently in their own homes. Skilled care services are available to Cuyahoga County residents who are Medicare/Medicaid eligible and under the care of a physician. Our goal is to provide caring, efficient, and effective home health care to adult medical/surgical patients, geriatric patients, and adults with multiple, or unstable medical conditions.

Our skilled care services include:

• Skilled Nursing
• Physical Therapy
• Occupational Therapy
• Speech Therapy
• Medical Social Services
• Home Health Aide Services 

Skilled nursing services are supervised by Registered Nurses and provided by skilled home health aides. Clients receive a comprehensive assessment; care as prescribed by a physician; coordination of care and services; and client/family education. Education is a vital component of our care plan, so that clients and their families fully understand their diagnosis, illness, care plan, appropriate diet, and prescribed medications.

• Residents of Cuyahoga County over age 18

How Services are Covered
