Home care is a simple phrase that encompasses a wide range of health and social services. These services are delivered at home to recovering, disabled, chronically or terminally ill persons in need of medical, nursing, social, or therapeutic treatment and/or assistance with the essential activities of daily living. Generally, home care is appropriate whenever a person prefers to stay at home but needs care that cannot be easily or effectively be provided solely by family and friends. Several factors have positioned home health care for a greater role in the health care delivery system today and in the future. They include: -- Cost-effectiveness -- Responsiveness -- Advanced capabilities -- Long-term care -- Flexibility -- Partnership for care through the continuum -- Value perspective
