What is Home Health Care?2021-02-26T14:30:54-05:00

Home Health Care encompasses a wide range of health care services provided in the patient’s home with the purpose of maintaining a patient’s optimal level of health, well-being, and independence, according to their personal beliefs and choices. Home care is a collaborative effort involving caregivers, physicians, and an interdisciplinary home care team. It is a cost-effective alternative to extended hospitalization, rehabilitation, or a nursing home stay. Patients are usually more comfortable in their own home and studies have shown patients recover quicker at home.
