What is home health care?

Home health care involves a range of health care services that can be given in your home for an illness or injury. It is usually less expensive, more convenient, and just as effective as care you get in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.

Who can receive home health care?

Home health care is typically available for patients who are recovering from surgery, illness, or injury and for those who are managing chronic conditions. It is also for people who need continuous medical care that can be provided in the comfort of their home.

How is home health care different from home care?

Home health care involves medical services performed by licensed health care professionals, while home care generally includes non-medical assistance with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and housekeeping.

How do I get home health care services?

A doctor’s order is usually required to start home health care. After discussing your needs with your doctor, they can refer you to a home health care agency, which will coordinate your care.
