Nursing Assistance at Home

Our Service

Nursing homes offer the most extensive care a person can get outside a hospital.

Nursing homes offer help with custodial care -- like bathing, getting dressed, and eating -- as well as skilled care. Skilled nursing care is given by a registered nurse and includes medical monitoring and treatments. Home care includes any professional support services that allow a person to live safely in their home. In-home care services can help someone who is aging and needs assistance to live independently; is managing chronic health issues; is recovering from a medical setback; or has special needs or a disability.

Professional caregivers such as nurses, aides, and therapists provide short-term or long-term care in the home, depending on a person's needs.Not all home care providers offer all the different types of home care services. This short guide will provide an overview of the different types of home care. Care is customized to your individual needs and may include services from one or more of the types described. Contacting a provider to discuss your needs can help determine what care is best for you. While the multiple types of home care may serve different needs, they share a common goal: to enable happier families.
