Summary

Community Home Health Services Act of 1981 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make loans to proprietary entities (in addition to the home health grants now available) for home health programs to meet the initial cost of establishing and operating such programs. Authorizes appropriations for home health programs through fiscal year 1984. Directs the Secretary to submit a report concerning home health programs to the appropriate committees of the Congress. Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to: (1) provide that home health services may be furnished by a nonprofit hospital; (2) provide coverage for homemakers services when required; (3) provide coverage for transportation related to home health items and services; and (4) include as a home health service any service furnished as an alternative to institutional care.
