Abstract
Patients who have limited or no ability to leave their home (home limited or homebound) usually have a constellation of physical, emotional, financial, and social problems. Most have family or other caregivers who need education and support. These complex patients and their caregivers are best served by an interdisciplinary team. This chapter describes community resources available to assist home-based medical providers to care for homebound patients. We focus on medical home health services, as well as home- and community-based resources, and describe how such assets may be used effectively by home-based medical care clinicians.
