Home care and home health are not the same—but both can play an important role in helping someone remain safely at home.
Home health generally provides skilled medical services, such as nursing or therapy, under the direction of a healthcare provider.
Home care focuses on the everyday support a person may need to remain comfortable and independent, including personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, companionship, transportation, medication reminders, and respite support for family caregivers.
Some individuals may need home care only, while others may receive home care alongside medical home health services.
Avella Homecare provides personalized, non-medical support for seniors and adults throughout Greater Lansing and surrounding communities.
