Home Health Care covers medically necessary skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. There's generally no cost for home health care services under Medicare if the patience meets eligibility criteria, but there may be limits on the duration and frequency of services.
Home Care (aka In-Home Care) offers seniors assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, companionship, and light housekeeping. Home Care is typically not covered by Medicare and cost can vary depending on level of care needed or duration of hours of services.
Having both Home Care and Home Health ensures seniors receive comprehensive care tailored to their individual needs while in the familiarity of their own homes, addressing both medical and non-medical/ personal care aspects of their well-being to stay safe and remain independent.
