Home healthcare offers a wide range of healthcare services that can be given in the home when someone is suffering from an illness or injury. Many people prefer to receive this kind of care in the comfort of their own homes as opposed to obtaining care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF). Home health care is generally less expensive, may be more convenient and just as effective as care received from a facility.
Home healthcare agencies may provide a variety of different services to fulfill the ever changing needs of their clients. Some may only need light assistance with basic routine needs, but others may need a more skilled type of nursing care or therapy.
The goal of home health care is to treat your injury or illness in such a way that you are able to get better, regain your independence, and go back to being as self-sufficient as possible.
Being comfortable and having peace of mind is key to a positive recovery when it comes to home health care services. It is imperative that you check into several agencies until you find one that you are satisfied with. Here are some key things to explore before you decide for sure which one to go with:
- Make sure that the agency is a legitimate home health care facility. Some home health care services may be little more than employment services and not real employers with qualified staff. Many of these agencies do not have staff that possess the qualifications you need to aid in your recovery.
- Find out if and how their employees are screened. You will want to make sure that whoever is caring for you or your loved one is qualified, has experience and is dedicated to the health and happiness of their clients. You will also want to make sure that the agency has their employees insured and bonded. If possible read some reviews and ask for references from past clients.
- Look for full service home healthcare agencies. Different clients have different needs. It is also likely that the needs of yourself or your loved one will change over time. It is a lot more convenient and reassuring to be able to use the same agency for different services than to have to keep looking for a new one.

- Learn how the agency communicates. Agencies are supposed to help coordinate care with health providers and keep responsible family members updated.
