What’s the difference between home care, home health care?
A Home Care Agency provides household and personal care duties, such as cooking meals, cleaning, and assistance with personal care (i.e. bathing or dressing). We can provide a list of agencies and individuals in the area that provide this service.
A Home Health Care Provider, such as Johnson County Home Health, is necessary when there is a medical need that requires a health care professional to assist in helping you regain your quality of life. It may also be prescribed by a doctor when you are suffering from a chronic condition such as diabetes or COPD. A doctor will determine if home health care is necessary. Your plan of care can include some personal care services, such as bathing and dressing.
