What are
Home Health
Services?
Home Health Services provide nursing care
that is medically necessary and ordered by a physician. These services
enable an individual to receive care at home and decreases the likelihood of
facility placement. Home Health Services also assist in recovery at home
following a major hospitalization.
What about
Assisted
Living?
Assisted Living provides support for the
activities of daily living including personal care and homemaking. Trained
home health aides provide assistance with tasks such as dressing, bathing,
and prescribed exercise, while homemakers perform light housekeeping, meal
preparation, and help with grocery shopping and errands. Home Health
Services may be needed in addition to Assisted Living Services when skilled
nursing care is required. |
