Ability to deliver services in Spanish: a survey of Michigan home health agencies, 2012
Abstract
The capacity of home health agencies to serve children from families with low English proficiency is not well understood. We conducted an exploratory survey of home health agencies in Michigan in 2012 to document whether they can provide services in Spanish, serve children, and accept Medicaid.
