What is Home Health Care?

Home health care refers to medical and nonmedical services that are provided to patients in their own homes instead of receiving care in a hospital or other healthcare facility. Home health care is typically provided by trained professionals, such as nurses, therapists, and caregivers, and it may include a wide range of services, including medical care, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), medication management, wound care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and more.

Home health care is often used for patients who are recovering from surgery or illness, those with chronic medical conditions, or those who need assistance with daily activities but prefer to receive care in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. Home health care can also be a cost-effective and convenient alternative to receiving care in a healthcare facility, and it allows patients to maintain their independence and quality of life while receiving necessary care.
