The subject of Home Health Care is very broad and it can be confusing and very frustrating to come up with answers, especially when it comes to the care of a loved one. So the best place to start may be by defining exactly what home health care is.
According to the US Government”
Home health care is a wide range of healthcare services that can be given in your home for an illness or injury. Home health care is usually less expensive, more convenient, and just as effective as the care you get in a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF).

One point that’s made is the fact that care provided in a home can often be just as effective of what can be found in institutions such as hospitals or skilled nursing facilities. One key advantage of having care provided at home is the much lower cost. Another advantage of in-home care is allowing the one being cared for to remain at home, a familiar and comfortable environment. This point alone can be a tremendous boost to the patient’s overall health and well-being.
