What exactly is Home Health Care?
Home Health Care is the service of providing help to the elderly and disabled, those who cannot tend to their own needs. Home Health Care includes assistance with personal care and activities of daily living. Offered in the patient's residence, Home Health Care can be either long term (disability) or short term (post hospitalization care), as well as live-in assistance.
Is HOME HEALTH CARE only for senior citizens?
Home Health Care ("Home Care") is not just for senior citizens. Many children and adults with disabilities, whether permanent or temporary, can receive long term Home Care services.
