Mission Statement

To provide quality home care to the population of Mason County and surrounding counties within a 30-mile radius by consistently meeting our client’s health needs with the highest standards of excellence while maintaining cost-effective care and strict standards of professional and ethical behavior.

Care Where You Need It Most

Mason District Hospital’s commitment to your health doesn’t end at the hospital or doctor’s office — there are times when you may need health care in the comfort of your own home. Through our Home Health Services, we bring compassionate, quality health care to you, helping you adapt and manage your medical situation at home.

We serve those of all ages who are acutely or chronically ill, are temporarily disabled, or those who require long term care. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and we are a preferred provider for most private insurance companies.

Mason District Hospital Home Health is certified by the Illinois Department of Public Health and accredited by the Joint Commission.

Home Care Eligibility

To receive home care services, patients need to:

• If under Medicare requirements, be considered “homebound” – that is, require a considerable and taxing effort to leave home
• Require a skilled professional service
• Be under the care of a licensed physician

Arranging for Home Care

If you or your loved one is leaving a hospital or nursing home, a discharge planner at that facility can contact us with a referral for your care at home. By law, you have the right to choose which agency you prefer to provide your care at home. Referrals may also be made by your doctor or health care professional.

Home care services are available seven days a week with access to a nurse clinician 24 hours a day. Mason District Home Health Offices are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Referrals may be phoned to our office at (309) 543-6137.
