Who Should Consider Home Care Service?
Whether you are having surgery and need help caring for yourself while you recover, or have a chronic illness and need help caring for yourself long term, home care services may be an option.
You should consider home care services if you need assistance caring for yourself because:
- You're less able to care for yourself as you get older
- You have a disability
- You're recovering from an accident, illness, surgery or a hospital stay
- You're living with a chronic illness
- You've been diagnosed with a terminal illness
In addition, home health care might be beneficial in helping you care for family members who may need help caring for themselves.
Discuss with your doctor, social worker or hospital discharge planner whether Home Health Care is right for you.
