In-Home Health Care

At Great Places, we can help you find the right in-home health care service for an aging parent who is relatively independent but who needs medical, housekeeping and a variety of other assistance. In-home health care helps seniors stay independent and, often, in their home as long as possible.

In-Home Health Care

In-home health care can be a temporary or long-term service after a person has had a stroke or surgery and needs assistance to perform daily activities. For example, if an elderly woman were to have a stroke, she would be treated at the hospital, discharged to her home, and then get several weeks of in-home health care and therapy by a registered nurse, therapist or caregiver.

In-Home Health Care Features

• In-home medical health care may include occupational and physical therapy, speech therapy, dispensing of prescription medications and a variety of other care that may be administered only by a licensed medical professional.
• In-home medical health care must be ordered by a physician, and there are very specific guidelines for eligibility. It is generally paid for by Medicare or health insurance and it is usually approved only for a short length of time often following a hospital stay.
• In-home non-medical health care may involve helping seniors with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and eating and monitoring prescription use and over-the-counter medications.
