What Families Say

Real Stories From Hampton Roads Families

★★★★★

“After my mother's hip replacement, we didn't know how we'd manage her care at home. Better Days sent a nurse and a physical therapist who were professional, kind, and genuinely invested in her recovery. She was back on her feet faster than anyone expected.”

MR
Margaret R.
Virginia Beach, VA
★★★★★

“Our RN was incredible — she caught a wound infection early that would have sent my father back to the hospital. The whole team communicated with us throughout. I can't recommend Better Days enough to any family navigating home health care.”

DJ
David J.
Norfolk, VA
★★★★★

“The caregiver we were matched with became like family. She was reliable, compassionate, and treated my grandmother with so much dignity. Knowing someone that caring is there every day gives our whole family peace of mind.”

SL
Sarah L.

“As a discharge planner, I have worked with a lot of home health agencies. Better Days is one of the few I trust completely. They confirm eligibility fast, keep me updated on patient progress, and actually follow through on what they promise. My patients are in good hands.”

Hospital Discharge Planner, Norfolk
★★★★★

“After my dad's knee replacement, we weren't sure what to expect from home physical therapy. His PT was phenomenal — she pushed him just enough, kept him motivated, and he recovered faster than his surgeon expected.”

TM
Thomas M.
Portsmouth, VA
★★★★★

“My mother has diabetes and CHF, and managing her medications was overwhelming. Her Better Days nurse visits twice a week and has completely taken the stress off our family. She explains everything clearly and we finally feel like we understand Mom's care.”

Common Questions

Questions Families Ask

Navigating home health care can feel overwhelming. Here are answers to what families ask us most often.

Does Medicaid cover home health care in Virginia?

Yes. Virginia Medicaid covers a broad range of home health services including skilled nursing visits, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and personal care aides for eligible patients. Better Days Home Health is a Medicaid-enrolled provider. We verify your benefits at no cost to you before care begins.

How do I know if my family member qualifies for home health?

Generally, a patient qualifies for skilled home health when they are homebound (leaving home requires significant effort) and have a medical need — such as wound care, IV therapy, medication management, or rehabilitation therapy — ordered by a physician. Personal care services have different eligibility criteria based on functional need. Call us and we will walk you through your options at no charge.

What is the difference between skilled nursing and personal care?

Skilled nursing is clinical care delivered by a licensed RN or LPN — wound care, IV therapy, medication management, and post-surgical assessments. It is typically ordered by a physician and covered by Medicaid or insurance.

Personal care is assistance with daily living — bathing, dressing, meal preparation, companionship, and light housekeeping — provided by a certified aide (PCA, CNA, or HHA). Both types of care can often be provided together under a coordinated care plan.

How quickly can care begin after we contact you?

In most cases, we can confirm insurance eligibility same-day and begin care within 24–48 hours of receiving a physician's order. We understand that transitions from hospital to home are time-sensitive, and we move quickly to ensure there is no gap in care.

Do you accept Sentara health plans?

Yes, Better Days Home Health is an in-network provider with Sentara Health Plans. We also accept Virginia Medicaid, most commercial insurance plans, and private pay. We will verify your specific benefits before any services begin — at no cost to you.

How do I get started?

Simply call us at (757) 715-7829 or submit a request through our contact form. We will listen to your situation, verify your insurance, and walk you through every next step — at no cost and with no obligation.
