About Home Health Care

 

 

What is home health care?

Home Health Care can seem complicated, but it is designed for the purpose of helping people perform activities of daily living and other functions that are often taken for granted. These daily living activities include walking or otherwise getting around, feeding, dressing and grooming, toileting, bathing, and transferring from one position to another.

Home health care can also include companion services, which primarily offer emotional support and socialization, although companions may help older adults with a variety of tasks including light housekeeping and other household chores, such as washing clothing and dishes, running errands such as grocery shopping, transportation to appointments and other activities, preparing meals, socialization and entertainment, and more.

Why home health care?

Studies have shown that people recover from illness faster if in their own environment. With cases of dementia, keeping people in a familiar environment helps decrease incidents of confusion, anxiety, agitation, and irritability. Many homes are extended family dwellings and the family’s schedules with work and lifestyle makes caring for the loved one more difficult. Advocates can help balance the family’s lives by helping with the care of the loved one.
