Workers' Compensation Home Care

What is Workers' Compensation Home Care?

Workers' Compensation home care provides injured workers with professional in-home support services during their recovery. When a workplace injury or illness prevents someone from caring for themselves independently, home health aide services can be authorized as part of their workers' comp claim — allowing them to recover at home rather than in a facility.

Who may qualify?

Eligibility is determined by the workers' compensation insurance carrier and the treating physician. Individuals who may qualify typically include:

• Workers who sustained an injury or illness on the job
• Individuals whose treating physician prescribes in-home care as part of their recovery plan
• Workers whose injuries limit their ability to perform daily living activities independently
• Individuals recovering from surgery related to a workplace injury
• Workers who require ongoing personal care assistance during rehabilitation

Services that may be available

Depending on the authorized plan of care, services may include:

• Personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming)
• Mobility support and transfer assistance
• Medication reminders and health monitoring
• Meal preparation and light housekeeping
• Transportation to medical appointments and therapy sessions
• Post-surgical wound care support
• Assistance with prescribed exercises and rehabilitation routines
