Home health care does not mean that a person will forfeit their independence; instead, it indicates that they require assistance in establishing and sustaining a safe, happy, and comfortable living space.
Home health care helps people live in their own houses with support from trained helpers and live-in care providers. These helpers make daily life easier by giving care, watching for safety, and offering comfort and company.
