Home care allows your loved ones to receive personalized care that helps them maintain their quality of life in the privacy and comfort of their home. Home care can help people more quickly recover from an illness and more easily receive help with their daily living needs. 

 

Many serious or life-threatening medical conditions and illnesses can now be safely treated or managed in the home. If your loved one has a medical condition or illness, consider including a trained professional caregiver as part of your caregiving plan, at least for the short term and based upon their physician’s prescribed treatment plan.

 

Family caregivers supplement professional care by managing and supporting their loved one’s assisted daily living needs. A designated lead family caregiver typically provides oversight to ensure that medical issues are addressed, that the loved one’s home is secure and that the entire family is following the same plan of care.​
