Keystone is Pioneering House Call in Idaho

As health care providers, we've had the honor of serving the health needs in the Greater Boise area since 2011. But we noticed a large segment of the population wasn't able to get access to quality health care services. So in 2013, we formed Idaho's First Medical House Call Program and since then we have been bringing care to patients that are homebound or otherwise unable to travel to a clinic.

Choose Keystone. We'll provide the care you need, and the support you deserve.

Do I Qualify for Care?

Our patients are homebound adults** which includes medically fragile elders and disabled persons. In addition, the following qualifying factors must be met:

Residence must be in the greater Boise area

Patient is not in need of an emergency first visit

Patient (or family, when appropriate) agrees to accept our services

**Medicare definition is when leaving home requires assistance or considerable and taxing effort.

Where do I go to receive care?

With house call services, it doesn't matter where you are - a private home, adult foster home, assisted living or residentialc are facility, long-term nursing or memory care facilities, we bring the care to you.
