Questions and Answers
WHAT IS HOME CARE?
Today, people want more from their health care provider: quality medical services, education, convenience, a community resource and care that is affordable. Home care provides all of those.
Home care services can range from helping elderly individuals with the basic activities of daily living, suchas meal preparation and bathing, to providing high-tech infusion chemotherapy to cancer patients.
Home health care brings together highly trained health professionals and high-tech medical equipment. The advanced medical care, once available only in a hospital, is now delivered in the safe and comfortableenvironment of patients? homes.
WHY CHOOSE HOME CARE?
The benefits of receiving home care go beyond the obvious ones of comfort and convenience. Home care draws on the resources and support of the family and recognizes these as essential to the healing process.
Additionally, many physicians maintain that patients recuperate more quickly and more fully in a home environment, among family, friends and familiar settings. And with the cost of home health care averaging $86 versus $1,810 per day for a hospital visit, patients, insurers and providers all are realizing the substantial benefits associated with home healthcare.
One of the most satisfying features of home health care is the one-on-one relationship that patients develop with their home caregivers. People often are less threatened and feel more comfortable in their own homes.
This allows the patient/family and caregivers to form a team, and to develop a level of trust and compliance essential for treatment success.
WHO RECEIVES HOME HEALTH CARE?
People of all ages can receive home care. A person requiring care after a hospital stay, an injured worker needing physical therapy for a back injury, and an elderly person living alone who needs assistance with daily activities - all of these patients now are able to leave the confines of a hospital setting and receive high quality care in their own homes.
HOW DO YOU PAY FOR HOME HEALTH CARE?
Many federally funded programs, insurance companies and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) provide for home health care services.
