What is Home Healthcare?
Home Healthcare is a wide range of services that can be given in your home for an illness or injury. It is usually less expensive, more convenient and just as effective as care from a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF).
Home Healthcare provides skilled services by licensed nurses and therapists that are more medical in nature. While Home Care offers non-skilled, non-medical services by professional caregivers.
Who is Homebound?
You are considered homebound when you are confined to your home due to illness or injury. You need not be bedridden, but leaving your residence must require considerable taxing effort and an assistive device such as a walker, cane or wheelchair, or assistance from another person.
