Medicare certified home health care agencies provide skilled nursing and therapy services of a curative or restorative nature.

The Long Term Home Health Care Program, a specialized certified home care agency, is sometimes known as a "Nursing Home Without Walls." This program offers care to individuals who require nursing facility level care but are able, and choose, to remain in their homes.

The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) is a community-based program that serves individuals who are aged 55 or older with chronic care needs and who require nursing home level care. The program is focused on allowing those individuals to remain as independent as possible in their homes and provides services ranging from nursing care and various medical services to assistance with personal care.
