What Is Homebound?

This does not mean the patient must never leave their home. In general terms, a patient is considered “homebound” if they:

  • Have a medical condition or an injury that restricts their ability to leave their home unless
  • they use an assistive device (crutches, cane, wheelchair, walker);
  • Require the use of special transportation
  • Require the assistance of another person, or leaving their home is not medically advised
  • Patients may leave their homes occasionally; for church services, hairdressing, attending a family functions while being driven in a vehicle by another person.

Absences from the home to receive medical treatments are also allowed, such as:

  • Attending adult day centers to receive medical care.
  • Kidney dialysis.
  • Chemo/radiation therapy and outpatient physical therapy, including whirlpool therapy.
