FAQ
What is “home health?”
"Home health" refers to a range of healthcare services that can be provided in a patient's home. These services are typically aimed at helping individuals recover from illness or injury, manage chronic health conditions, or maintain their independence as they age. Home health care can include medical services like nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. It can also involve non-medical support, such as assistance with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation.
