What is home care?
Home care is a category of professional support services designed to help seniors live safely at home. With home care, a professional caregiver or multiple different caregivers come into a senior’s home or their loved one’s home to provide whatever help is needed. The length of care and level of care varies.
For one senior, home care might mean hiring someone to come help with bathing and dressing. For another, it might mean an all-day companion who helps with all activities of daily living and monitoring vital signs. It really depends on your needs and what you can afford.
Home care also goes by many different names like non-medical care, home health aide services, homemaker care, companion care, or senior care. It’s similar to what’s offered at an assisted living facility, except you continue living in your own home.
The Difference Between Home Care and Home Health Care.
When you look more into home care, you’ll come across the term home health care. Home care and home health care both exist to help older adults age safely in place, but there are key differences you should know about to ensure your loved one gets the care they need.
Home care is sometimes used as an umbrella term for any care a senior receives at home. However, home care primarily means non-medical, personal care, and companionship services. That’s an important distinction to know when making decisions about the services you need, especially if your loved one needs medical care throughout the day.
Seniors who want to recover at home after an illness, injury, or hospital stay might need home health care services. Home health care is a type of short-term in-home care that aligns with a doctor’s care plan to help a patient prevent or recover from a medical condition or surgery. Its primary focus is addressing seniors' medical conditions.
Home health care services include:
- Short-term nursing care
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Speech-language pathology
- Medical social work
- Home health aide services
- Medical equipment care
- Palliative care
