I practiced a similar question, and I think homebound status is definitely a major requirement, but I’m a bit confused about the specifics of skilled care.

I feel like age alone isn't enough for eligibility; there has to be more criteria involved, like needing nursing support.

I remember something about needing a recent hospitalization, but I can't recall if that's always necessary for home care services.

I think the key factor for Medicare home care eligibility is homebound status, but I'm not entirely sure if skilled therapy is a strict requirement.
