A medical home health care aide, or a visiting nurse, is someone who can administer medications, check vitals and relay that information to the client’s doctor, change wound dressings or an IV, and so forth. A non medical caregiver will not be able to do most of those things. A non-medical home health agency will be focused on assisting clients with a variety of daily tasks, including but not limited to:
- bathing
- toileting
- getting to the store
- doing laundry
- getting dressed
- meal prep
- and more
A non-medical agency provides the bulk of home supports for aging and disabled clients. The best non medical home care is through Home-Health, helping seniors and their families connect with a quality non medical agency.
