2. • Home Health Care Services are very popular in the
west. This concept has gained popularity over the
last thirty or so years. Home Health care means
providing support to the adults and child patients in
their homes. The health care can be of two types.
One is medical care and the other is non-medical
care. The caregivers and nurses are very often
assigned to take care of the elderly, the children
with chronic back pain or in any other condition.
Depending upon the provider, one can have 24
hours of care and 7 days a week continuously.

4. • Home Health Care services have
costs. Depending upon the care level
these prices need to be paid.
• The care agreement can be
anywhere from being temporary to
long term. It varies depending upon
the condition of the patient or the
person in need. The temporary care
is also termed as “Respite Care”.
5. • Many service providers have
different facilities for the elderly
and the children. The service
charges vary tremendously
depending upon the location of
the office of these providers. So,
one should choose wisely
keeping a balance between
workload, distance and the
actual care. Finding the perfect
tuning is the key to good health.

7. • Have you ever heard of the “Never Events”?
Well, The National Quality Forum agreed that
there are 29 normal errors that shouldn’t
happen to a patient.
• These errors can be easily avoided. Most of
the errors take place when a patient is in
medical facility and is being treated.
8. • That is why there is necessity for Home Health
Care Services where an expert caregiver treats
the patient or the person in need in the comfort
zone of his/her own home. That is where the
idea of home care services originated from. A
bit of personal touch always helps the sick.
9. • The modern day insurance system pays for the home health care
services as well. You can get a range of services through
insurance payment. Be it skilled nursing at home, be it skilled
therapy services (i.e. strengthening a body part through
continuous training, speech therapy, language therapy etc.).
• The insurance services pay for the psychotic cure as well. The
patient is very often in need of social re-integration and re-
evaluation. The insurance providers pay the fees for the service as
well.
• Especially for the elderly patients who are going through difficult
stages of absent mind syndrome, need intense care.

11. • Home health care
services are great
alternatives to your
traditional medical
facilities. More often
than not the facilities
don’t suit the patients.
The patients don’t get
accustomed to the
system of a medical
facility. It is better to
treat them inside the
comfort of their
houses. They’ll feel
better.

13. • The health care services can be diversified. The elderly
need a special type of care and the children need another
type of care. So, it is very diverse. Sometimes the person in
care might not be a patient. So, home based healthcare isn’t
always closely related to medical purposes.
