When families hear the term Home Health, it’s often confused with other types of care at home.
In simple terms,
Home Health involves skilled medical care provided at home.
This type of care is typically ordered by a physician and may include nursing visits, therapy, medication management, and monitoring of medical conditions after a hospital stay or during recovery.
Home Health is not about daily household help — it is focused on medical needs, recovery, and clinical support.
Each type of care at home serves a different purpose.
Understanding what Home Health is — and when it’s appropriate — can help families make clearer, more confident decisions.
In the next posts, we’ll continue breaking down each type of care one at a time.
