Memory Care Services
St. Cloud Hospital Home Care offers professional assessment and guidance for patients dealing with memory concerns at home. Our team of professionals collaborate with the patient's primary care provider.
Our staff works directly with patients and their families to help identify tips and strategies to help patients maintain their independence and ability to remain at home. Cognitive memory screening is provided at patients' homes by occupational therapists. Screenings assess the patient's cognitive and functional ability to perform daily living activities.

Insurance Coverage
Most services are covered under Medicare and private insurance.
Patients dealing with memory issues do not have to be home bound to qualify for services. Patients with memory concerns are considered "mentally homebound", meaning they might need to go out in the community with their caregivers because they are not safe to leave home alone for long periods of time.
