Most people don’t consider home health or home care until it’s necessary. It would be a great idea if more Americans were proactive when it comes to this vital aspect of health and quality of life, especially for aging seniors. When some people learn about this type of health care, they wonder, ‘Is home health care new?
No, it isn’t. In fact, at home health care is the way health care was provided for many generations before hospitals and doctors’ offices and clinics became the norm. Health care was one far more personalized than it is now.
Doctors used to routinely make ‘house calls.’ That was the rule rather than the exception, but as more people have required care for acute (brief) and longer-term (chronic) issues, the model changed, which is why so many today would likely think that home health care is actually new. Home-Health was designed to help people, like you, get ‘at your home health care’ from only the best local providers.
