- Contributing to improved quality of life and aging in place.

Home health care can help manage other conditions and issues as well. Home health care may even provide specialized services such as:
- Physical therapists – for strength and mobility.
- Occupational therapists – for daily routines and cognitive limitations.
- Speech therapists – for assisting the family and caregivers as the patient’s disease progresses.
- Psychiatric nurses – for patients with behavioral issues like agitation, aggression or other problems.
- Medical social workers – to help connect family caregivers with community support resources.
- Registered Nurses (RN) – a registered nurse has met the requirements to obtain a nursing license and can provide more care than a home health aid.
- Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) – LPNs provide medication to patients and may seek additional certifications
Before you begin any home health care services, make sure to talk to your doctor about your needs, your medication schedule, and any necessary instructions for the home care provider. You also may ask your doctor to prescribe home health care to instruct you and your loved ones on appropriately managing medications and how to best monitor your condition(s) to avoid complications.
