To be eligible for this program, residents must meet the Medicare definition of homebound. Patients are considered “confined to the home” or “homebound” if they meet both of these criteria:
- Patients either need supportive devices such as crutches, canes, wheelchairs, walkers, special transportation, or help from someone else to leave their home, due to illness or injury, OR have a condition that makes leaving the home medically inadvisable.
- There must exist a normal inability to leave home; AND leaving home must require a considerable and taxing effort.
