What is Home Care?
There are two types of Home Care - Non-Medical and Medical Home Health:
Non-Medical Home Care offers personal care, homemaking, shopping, laundry, friendly visitors, companionship and respite. Agencies that provide this care may or may not be licensed, so always ask.
Medical Home Health Care is provided by doctors, nurses, social workers or home health aides. Types of care can include physical therapy, ventilator care, infusion therapy, chemotherapy or other medically oriented health maintenance. Agencies that provide this type of care are often overseen by state and federal laws, and are often certified by Medicare and Medicaid.
