In general, home care services refer to health care or supportive care provided by a professional caregiver in an individual’s home where the patient or client is living, as opposed to care provided in an institutional setting or in group accommodations like clinics or nursing homes.
Homecare is also known as domiciliary care, social care, or in-home care.
It should also be noted that Home Care is a concept that is not necessarily based on the location of care. Additionally, Care Plus Home Care may provide many of our services to clients in nursing homes or hospitals or other long term or palliative care facilities. An example of such services could be companionship services in a nursing home to provide an extra level of care and comfort to both the patient and their families, ensuring that their loved one is getting the best possible care.
