Home Care |
Home care is clinical and nonclinical care that allows a person with special needs to stay in their home. It may also be assumed to include the management of patient care needs for those patients not sick enough to require hospitalization or long-term care, or for whom hospitalization is not deemed to be of benefit. Other examples of home care include, but are not limited to: skilled nursing visits, respiratory care services, provision of durable medical equipment, hospice, and pharmacist services. |
