At-home care can enable the safety, security, and increased independence that your loved one will need to remain in the comforts of home. At-home care can ease the management of an ongoing medical condition, help avoid unnecessary hospitalization, and even aid with recovery after an illness, injury or hospital stay.

Short-term care can last for only a few days to a couple of months depending on what your loved one may need in their recovery process. Home care is a temporary service in these instances. For example, home care companies can provide short-term services to help seniors make a smooth transition from the hospital back to their homes. These types of services can be covered through a variety of insurance or other payment options.
Depending on the needs of your loved one, one or more professional caregivers may be held with needed care. A caregiver can provide assistive care with daily living activities including bathing, dressing, walking and transportation, laundry, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. Ensuring that your loved one is taking their medications as directed, eating nutritious meals and does not have to handle chores can help them recuperate much faster.
