Why is home health care important?

What is the difference between home health and home care?

Although they may sound similar, home health services focus on providing you with medical assistance and rehabilitation therapy – including medication management, rehabilitation services, wound care, social work and other medical treatments.

With home health, you receive care in your home from nurses, therapists and aides who are ready to help you reach your goals.

Home care services provide you with daily routine activities not associated with medical care. This can include everything from personal care like grooming, bathing and dressing to light housekeeping, shopping and companionship.
