What's the Difference Between Home Care & Home Health Care?

What's the Difference Between Home Care & Home Health Care?


I don't understand what the differences are between home care & home health care.

Home care is a broad term used to describe several forms of care provided in-home. Generally it covers personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming), homemaking services (light housekeeping & chores) & companionship services.
Home health care provides medical care in the home. Several examples are therapy (physical, occupational & speech therapy), infusion services, wound treatment & medication management.

Does home health care have to be prescribed by a doctor?

My mother requires at home medical care for surgery recovery. Does she require a written prescription from a doctor before she can receive care?

If you wish to have the costs covered by Medicare, a doctor's note is required, among other qualifications. Hoowever, home health care services are available to anyone on a private pay basis. Good luck!

When I go on vacation, how can I find temporary care for a loved one?

I am going on vacation soon, and need someone to fill in for me as my aunt's primary caregiver. What options do I have? I will only be away for 1 week.

What you are looking for is respite care. What type of respite care that is best would depend on your exact situation.
Respite care can be provided in the home, most large home care providers and home care agencies provide these temporary services.
There are also some limited housing options. Some facilities will accept residents who require room and board on a temporary basis. You must also, in most cases, meet their requirements and possibly completion of an assessment. Good luck!

What is a home health aide?

Do home health aides work for home care companies, or are they private caregivers?
home-health-care, home-health-aide, home-care
Answered by: MySeniorCare Staff
A home health aide is simply a caregiver who is certified or licensed to provide health care and provides the health care in the patient's home.
Home health aides are usually provided by a home health care company, however, it is possible to hire a private home health caregiver who works independently.
When looking to hire a home health aide it is important to check both options, a home health agency and private caregivers to find the best fit.

How can I find a home care provider in my local area?

I need to find a home care company in my town that provides assistance with personal related care and some light housekeeping?
home-care
Answered by: MySeniorCare Staff
There are several ways to find a home care provider that can address your needs. Some of them refer to their services as in-home care or at home care, or non-medical home care.
A good place to start would be to ask any friends or family members if they've ever hired a caregiver. Personal referrals are always helpful. Directories and books such as the yellow pages will also point you in the right direction as to what providers are located close by.
Remember that trusting the care of a loved one to a stranger is a large risk, make sure to screen thoroughly and ask for plenty of references when interviewing potential providers.

Should I hire a private caregiver or a home care company?

Should I hire a private caregiver or a home care company?

What are the differences between private caregivers and ones that work for home care companies? Should we consider both?
agency, caregiver, home-care
Answered by: MySeniorCare Staff
There really aren't many differences at all, in fact most of the private caregivers I know, once worked at larger home care agency.
Home care agencies would tell you that they rigorously screen all employees and only hire the best of the best. Although this can be true, it's always best to do your own research as well and even possibly meet with some of their caregivers as part of the hiring process.
I would advise not to rule out private caregivers as a whole, and do some research and interviews with them as well
