What is home care?
Home care is the term used for health and social services delivered at home to persons recovering from an illness or injury or who are disabled, chronically, or terminally ill. These patients require medical, nursing, social, or therapeutic treatment and assistance with the essential daily living activities.
A person generally receives home care when they prefer to stay at home but needs care more than can be provided by family and friends. As people age, many choose to live independently at home and often elect to receive home care rather than moving to a nursing home or assisted living facility. Home care is also chosen for disabled young adults and those recuperating from acute illness. Chronically ill infants and children can receive sophisticated medical treatment in their loving and secure home environments. Both adults and children diagnosed with terminal illness also are being cared for at home, receiving compassion, and maintaining dignity at the end of life. As hospital stays decrease, increasing numbers of patients need highly skilled services when they return home. Other patients can remain at home, to begin with, receiving safe and effective care in the comfort of their own homes. Home care services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Depending on the patient’s needs, these services may be provided by an individual or a team of specialists on a part-time, intermittent, hourly, or shift basis. (HCAF)
