HOME HEALTH CARE

Home health care includes a wide range of health care services that can be given in a patient’s home for an illness or injury. Home health care is usually less expensive, more convenient, and as effective as care elsewhere such as, at times, in a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF).

Examples of skilled home health services include:

• Wound care for pressure sores or a surgical wound
• Patient and caregiver education
• Intravenous or nutrition therapy
• Injections
• Monitoring serious illness and unstable health status

In general, the goal of home health care is to treat an illness or injury. Home health care helps you:

• Get better
• Regain your independence
• Become as self-sufficient as possible
• Maintain your current condition or level of function
• Slow decline
