In-Home Care & Home Health Providers

What Is In-Home Care?

Most people like to remain in their homes for as long as possible. In-Home Care and Home Health Care mean any type of care given to a person in their own home. Both phrases are used interchangeably regardless of whether the person requires skilled care or not.

Home care aims to make it possible for people to remain at home rather than use residential, long-term or institutional-based nursing care. Home Care providers render a variety of services in the client's own home. These services may include some combination of professional health care services and life assistance services.

Professional Home Health services could include medical or psychological assessment, wound care, medication teaching, pain management, disease education and management, physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy.

Life assistance services include help with daily tasks such as meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, errands, shopping, transportation and companionship.
