Best In Home Care Reviews, Best Non-Medical Providers, Best Home Nursing Care Providers

Many millions of senior Americans receive care right in their own homes.

Home Care is generally defined as medical and non-medical support services delivered at the home of the senior. Home care may be appropriate if a senior prefers to stay at home but needs minor assistance with activities of daily living.

Choosing the path of Home Care allows seniors to remain at home longer rather than enter a nursing home or an assisted living community.

There are basically two types of home care services. “skilled” service providers who usually provide various medical care needs, and “custodial”care providers who provide services for daily living such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation but may also extend to assistance with transportation, paying bills, making appointments, and simply being there to provide companionship and emotional support.

Home Care services are generally available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are sometimes paid for directly by the client or through a variety of public and private funding sources such as Medicare and/or Medicaid.
