by Health Now Health Care ServicesIn home
healthcare, medical care comes at your doorsteps without the quality being
compromised. After hospitalization, most of the people prefer to recover in
their home surroundings following an injury or chronic illness treatment. It
comprises of varied services such as nursing, medication, house hold,
companionship, social engagement and much more.

healthcare offers:

major benefits of home healthcare is that it is much cost effective than a
hospital or nursing home stay. Home healthcare offers an array of services to
the patients after they have been released from a medical facility but still
require medical care for proper healing. Also, the visiting costs and the time
taken to visit the doctor are saved while receiving the care at home.
Physical and occupational therapy
If a person
is recovering from an injury and need any sort of therapy, trained therapy
professionals can visit the patient at their home to provide the therapy
treatment. The patient doesn’t have to visit the rehabilitation center or any
other such facility. The trained professional will also assess the safety of
your loved one and will also provide preventive advice for any fall or bathroom
hazards.
Family involvement
In home
healthcare, the family members can also assist the healthcare professionals to
provide the care to their loved ones.
Prevent falls and hospital
readmissions
If a person
has been diagnosed with a disease or an injury, might be having safety concerns
at home especially the risk of slips or falls. In home setting, the patient is
administered by the healthcare professional who takes care of all such factors
for avoiding a serious event at home. Prevention of all such safety hazards
reduces the rate of hospital readmission.

living (ADLs)
