What Is Home Care?
Home care — frequently referred to simply as "home care" — is skilled care delivered directly to a patient's home. This type of care is provided by trained caregivers and home health aides for the purpose of treating or managing an illness, injury, or medical condition.
Home care services can be delivered to the patient's residence (which may be a private home or adult foster home), an assisted living or long-term nursing facility, or a memory or residential care facility.
Services that may be covered include non-medical services such as assistance with daily living.
