Home Health Care in La Habra, CA
Skilled nursing, in plain terms
A lot of what our nurses do in La Habra homes involves wounds and medicines. Medicare’s examples of covered skilled nursing include:
- Wound care for pressure sores or a surgical wound, including checking for early signs of infection;
- Injections and intravenous or nutrition therapy when ordered;
- Monitoring a serious illness or an unstable health condition;
- Teaching the patient and family what to do between visits.
The care is part-time or intermittent, not a nurse moving in. The number of visits follows what your doctor orders. (medicare.gov)
Getting started when the hospital is in another county
Families sometimes worry that a hospital in Los Angeles County won’t “connect” with an Orange County agency. It does. Ask the discharge planner to send the referral to the agency you choose. Medicare says the ordering provider should give you a list of agencies that serve your area, and must tell you if their organization has a financial interest in any of them. Our team then contacts you to set up the first visit and talks with your doctor about the care plan.
Costs
If you qualify, you pay nothing for covered home health services under Original Medicare. Supplies like wound dressings used in your care are part of the benefit; separate medical equipment can carry a 20% share after the Part B deductible. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, we’ll check its rules with you first.La Habra resources

Home health is skilled care delivered at home, in scheduled visits, under a doctor’s order. Original Medicare (Part A and/or Part B) usually covers it for people who are homebound and need part-time or intermittent skilled care, and Medicare Advantage plans cover it under their own approval rules.
Services a doctor can order
- Skilled nursing: medication review and teaching, wound care, and monitoring of heart, lung and diabetes conditions
- Physical, occupational and speech-language therapy for walking, balance, daily tasks, speech and swallowing
- Home health aide visits for bathing and personal care while skilled care continues
- Medical social work for community resources, caregiver support and planning
La Habra neighborhoods and nearby hospitals
From our office at 13800 Arizona St #200 in Westminster, our nurses and therapists visit homes across La Habra, including the Westridge community near Beach Boulevard and the neighborhoods along La Habra Boulevard. Because La Habra sits next to Los Angeles County, patients come home from hospitals on both sides of the line, such as Providence St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, PIH Health Whittier Hospital on Washington Boulevard, and Whittier Hospital Medical Center on Colima Road. 24/7 Care at Home is an independent agency and is not affiliated with these hospitals.
Vietnamese- and English-speaking staff
Our team speaks Vietnamese and English. When care is set up, families can ask for a Vietnamese-speaking nurse, and we work to match that request, so a parent can ask questions directly.
How referrals work
A doctor, nurse practitioner, hospital case manager or skilled nursing facility discharge planner can refer a patient to us, and families are welcome to contact 24/7 Care at Home first. We request the order from the doctor, go over Medicare or plan coverage with you, and schedule a start-of-care visit. At that visit the nurse or therapist checks medicines against the discharge list, looks at home safety and writes the plan of care with your doctor. Our agency holds a CMS Care Compare 5-star quality rating and 4-star patient survey rating (Oct 2026).
La Habra home health FAQ
Can a Whittier hospital refer us to an Orange County agency?
Yes. Your provider should give you a list of agencies that serve your area, and you can ask the discharge planner to send the referral to the agency you choose.
Are wound dressings covered?
Medical supplies for use at home are part of the Medicare home health benefit when they are part of your care. Equipment such as a walker is billed separately.
How often will the nurse come?
As often as your doctor orders. Visits are part-time or intermittent, so most care happens in scheduled visits rather than long shifts.
