XL Care is a Medicare-certified home health agency providing skilled nursing and therapy at home across the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles.
Whether you are recovering after a hospital stay or surgery, or managing a chronic condition, care is based on your doctor’s orders and an in-home assessment.
What Is Home Health Care?
Home health care is skilled medical care ordered by a doctor and delivered in your home. Licensed nurses and therapists help you recover from an illness, injury, surgery, or hospital stay, manage a chronic condition, and stay independent – with your routine and family close by.
Care follows a physician-approved plan and is reviewed about every 60 days. For patients who qualify, Medicare typically covers these services.

Home Care vs. Home Health Care:
What’s the Difference?
Non-Medical
Home Care
Help with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, and meals. Usually paid privately by the hour.
Medical
Home Health Care
Skilled nursing and therapy ordered by a doctor and delivered at home. For eligible patients, Medicare typically covers these services.
XL Care is a Medicare-certified home health agency providing skilled, doctor-ordered care, not standalone custodial or companion care. Many families use both – skilled visits from XL Care and private help with daily activities between visits.

How Home Health Care Starts
Here’s what to expect after your doctor orders home health care.
01
Doctor's Order
Your doctor orders home health care and sends a referral to XL Care.
02
In-Home Assessment
After the referral is accepted, a home health professional visits to assess your needs and shares the findings with your doctor.
03
Care Plan and Visits
Your doctor and care team determine which services you need. Follow-up visits are scheduled with you based on your care plan.
Medicare Coverage for Home Health Care
$0
for covered home health services
Medicare covers skilled home health care when eligibility requirements are met. Medi-Cal, private insurance, and private-pay options are also available.
Medicare does not cover 24-hour care at home, meal delivery, or custodial care when it is the only care you need. Before your first visit, XL Care confirms your coverage and explains any expected costs.
