What Is Home Health Care?

 

Home health care is short-term, physician-ordered medical care provided in a patient’s home. It is designed to:

​

• Support recovery after surgery or hospitalization

• Manage chronic conditions like CHF or CHF

• Improve strength, balance, and mobility

• Prevent hospital readmissions

• Promote independence and safety at home

 

Home health is different from non-medical home care because it includes licensed medical professionals and clinical oversight.
