Home Health Care

 

Home health care is similar to nursing care, but it’s different in the way that it tends to focus on patients with short-term health problems like an illness or injury. For example, a physician might prescribe home health care to an elderly person to help recover from a heart attack or a stroke. Home health care professionals can include nurses, physical therapists, and physicians. Home health care aims to help return a patient to their normal lives. There are a number of services under home health care including:
 

• Short-term nursing services

• Physical therapy

• Occupational therapy

• Speech-language pathology

• Medical social work

• Home health aide services

​

Non-medical Home Care

 

Non-medical home care is an increasingly popular form of care amongst the elderly and disabled individuals. Non-medical home care providers help individuals with everyday activities like bathing and dressing, meal preparation, and household tasks to enable independence and safety. This also includes companionship for providing emotional support for seniors and disabled individuals. The services that come under this category are:
 

• Assistance with self-care tasks such as grooming, bathing, eating dressing, and using the toilet

• Enabling safety at home by assisting with ambulation, transfer (e.g., from bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to the toilet), and fall prevention

• Assistance with meal planning and preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, medication reminders, and escorting to appointments

• Companionship and engaging in hobbies and activities

• Supervision for someone with dementia or Alzheimer's disease
