Explore the Benefits and Services of Medical and Non-Medical In-Home Care Options
- Home Health Care is a care licensed medical professionals provide in a patient’s home. It is often prescribed by a doctor following surgery, an injury, or a significant health event and is intended to meet medical needs. Services include skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other medical treatments.
- Home Care, however, focuses on providing non-medical support to individuals in their homes. This type of care is geared towards assisting with daily living activities and improving quality of life but does not require medical personnel. Services typically include help with personal care (such as bathing, dressing, and grooming), housekeeping, meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship.
