Home health care is a service provided
to people who have a medical need which requires
the skills of a nurse or therapist.
Most patients who use home health are those who
have recently been hospitalized and have a change
in their condition or medicines, a new diagnosis,
or those who have had surgery.
Many people who require dressing changes can
also benefit from home health. Home health is
provided to all ages of individuals from infants
to the elderly.
