Medicare Home Visits: Health and Safety Assessments for Seniors
This new act introduces free home visits for individuals covered by Medicare, once every two years.

This aims to help seniors live safer and healthier lives in their own homes.

During the visit, professionals will identify health risks and suggest solutions, such as home modifications or lifestyle advice, to improve physical activity, prevent falls, and support healthy nutrition.
The cost of the visit will be 100% covered by Medicare, meaning no additional charges for eligible individuals.
