Home care,
also known as domiciliary care, at home
healthcare, assisted living, Senior care,
is health care provided in the patient's home by
healthcare professionals (often referred to as home health care or
formal care; it is known as skilled care) or by family and friends (also
known as caregivers, primary caregiver, or
voluntary caregivers who give informal care). Often, the term
home care is used to distinguish non-medical care
or custodial care, which is care that is provided by persons
who are not nurses, doctors, or other licensed medical personnel, whereas
the term home health care, refers to care that is provided
by such licensed personnel.
Home care aims to enable people to remain at home rather than use
residential, long-term, or institutional-based nursing care. Care workers
visit service users (patients) in the person's own home to help with daily
tasks such as getting up, going to bed, dressing, toileting, personal
hygiene, some household tasks, shopping, cooking and supervision of
medication.

Estimates for the U.S. indicate that most home care is of the informal
variety with families and friends providing substantial amounts of
care, including very high tech kinds of care as well as simpler
assistance with bathing or dressing. For formal care, the health care
professionals most often involved are nurses followed by physical
therapists and home care aides. Other health care providers include
respiratory and occupational therapists, medical social workers and
mental health workers.
Physicians may perform home visits also.
To find such a physician, contact the American Academy of Home Care
Physicians (AAHCP).
In the U.S., home health care is generally paid for by private
employer-sponsored health insurance or public payers (Medicare and
Medicaid), or by private-pay (paid with the family's or patient's own
resources). |
