Health is the most intangible aspect of an individual’s life. Taking care of your health is a privilege most people do not acknowledge. To some, taking care of their health has been impossible without a primary caregiver. However, for others, health may take a turn for the worse at a point in life and render them incapable of handling their needs. It is at this point in life that we realize “time and health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.” – Denis Waitley
Traditionally when plagued with the perils of an illness, the first step is to visit a hospital to receive the required care. For some diseases, this may be a day or two; for others, it may be several weeks or even months. What do you do when you have a severe injury that requires frequent wound dressing? How about rehabilitation to reacquaint you with your daily routine? What of a chronic illness that renders you incapable of managing your health? Or the mere need for assistance with health and a need for companionship? The hospital may be the first point of care, but how convenient is it to stay there for weeks or months? The hospital cannot be your new home or home away from home; talk less of the bills that come with staying there.
Home Health Care Service is the revolutionization of traditional hospital care and takes a more personalized approach tailored to patients’ comfort. Home health care services bring the hospital to your home and the healthcare providers to you. One may wonder what home health care services encompass; this is an umbrella term used to describe skilled and non-skilled care services that can be provided in the comfort of your home. Home health care services may either be home health care or home care.
