Understanding what home health care is and what it does is essential for making sure that your elderly family member is getting all of the care that she most needs. Home health care offers a way for your senior to get medical care at home so she can rest and heal at her own pace.

Here’s what you and she need to know about this type of care.

Home Health Care Covers a Lot of Ground

Home health care offers a range of services, therapies, and treatments that your senior may need to have come to her at home. If she has just had surgery, has injured herself, or is ill, medical assistance can come to her, especially if she needs regular help. This type of help is particularly vital if your elderly family member can’t easily go to her doctor’s office for follow up visits.

Examples of How Home Health Assists

Home health care can include taking care of wounds for your senior, giving her necessary injections, and even educating her and you about how to manage specific health issues in the best way possible. If your senior is experiencing instability with her health issues, they can help to determine why and work with her medical team to find solutions that work for her.

They Work Closely with Your Senior’s Doctor

Your senior’s doctor is completely involved in this entire process. Home health care providers are there with your senior, but they’re working from a plan that your doctor has put in place. If your senior were to need more advanced medical care or her situation were to worsen dramatically, she would need to see her doctor or go to the hospital.

This May Be a Short- or Long-term Solution

Your senior may only need home health care for a short time. As she recovers from surgery, for instance, she may find that she heals better and faster than she expects. If her situation is a more complicated one or she needs more help than you or her medical team expects, home health care is still there for her.

Home health care is a flexible and reliable way to make sure that your elderly family member is getting the care that she needs at home when she needs it the most. Once she’s doing much better or able to care for herself, your elderly family member may not need these services any longer.
