What is the difference between home health care and home care?

Both home care and home healthcare have the same goal: to keep your loved ones safe and as healthy as possible. Often, they work together. A home healthcare nurse or physician’s assistant will visit your home and potentially adjust your prescriptions, while a non-medical caregiver will make sure these medications are taken on time. A physical or occupational therapist may design an exercise plan for you; a non-medical caregiver will help you with these exercises throughout the day. Home healthcare requires a prescription by a physician when you need skilled care in your home while home care does not . Both services require specific licensing and both assist with activities of daily living (ADL).
