To start, let’s talk about the fundamental basics – what is home based care exactly? These professional services help people live a normal life, moving about their community and living independently. These can include assistance for someone who is aging; managing chronic health issues or recovering from a medical setback; or needs special attention due to having some type of disability. Professional caregivers such as nurses, aides, and therapists provide short-term or long-term care depending on what the person's needs are.
Next, let’s talk about all the different types of in-home care that are available. The range of care you can receive at home is limitless, depending on your individual situation. The services offered in the past may have been limited to nursing care and specialized medical services, such as lab workups. Nowadays it's more likely that patients are doing therapy programs with physical therapists or occupational therapists while they're waiting for their doctor to release them from the hospital bed - all under one roof!
