When faced with illness, it’s not surprising that a majority of patients would much rather receive care at home. After all, there is no place like home. And no matter the circumstances that may require home health care, whether it is a recent diagnosis, ongoing therapy or physical rehabilitation, or a declining medical condition, being at home, surrounded by family in a familiar setting, is a benefit to not only the patient - but the family caregivers as well.

Advantages of Home Health Care:

• Care provided by specially trained health care experts

• Convenient for patients and caregivers

• Can reduce the length and frequency of hospital stay
