Home Health Care is any service provided in-home to promote wellness, maintain independence and assist in recovery. Usually home health care is provided by certified Personal Support Workers (PSWs) and Nurses, who are specifically trained to meet the medical and non-medical needs of individuals in the home. Home health care includes anything from companionship and personal hygiene care to wound dressing and nursing assessments.
There are many signs that can indicate some help is needed in the home. Decline in ability to do regular household tasks and hygiene activities, mentioning that they are feeling sad or lonely, and new or progressing health problems are some of the most common reasons to start looking for home care assistance options. Other reasons can include a higher risk of falls, a loss of interest in cooking for themselves, and wanting to remain independent even after losing their driver’s license.
