The future of health care really is in the home. The call for more care at home connects with the desire to make the health care delivery system work for the patient, instead of the patient having to work it out themselves. The more care that we can deliver in the home, both from a preventative and a curative, and a rehabilitative standpoint, the better for everybody, including the hospitals. The hospitals care for patients when they are in acute episodes. They cure them, stabilize them, and then they discharge them. And they want to make sure that they are discharging them to somewhere that can actually keep these people happy and healthy. And the safest and happiest place for everyone is their own home.
Health care is not theoretical. It is very personal. It is about trust, dignity and presence. Care at home is not optional. It is essential. The need for in-home care and hospice are common across all communities, regardless of location or social status.
