Have you found yourself lately trying to decide which option is best for you or your loved one? We understand the frustration and want to help clear the air. Simply put, home health is medical care provided by licensed professionals and home care is for those who need help with daily tasks.
Home Care is beneficial for those who need help with laundry, cleaning their house or simply getting to the grocery store. Daily tasks can be very difficult for those who recently had surgery or maybe someone who’s caregiver is out of town. Home Care does not require licensed professionals such as nurses or therapists and typically only short term.
Home Health, on the other hand, is for necessary for those who have had an inpatient stay at a hospital, rehabilitation or nursing facility. It can also benefit those who need education related to potential side effects of new medication and need monitored to ensure medication is working properly. Home Health could also provide support for anyone showing a decline in overall physical health, therefore in need of therapy to assist in regaining independence at home.
