Home health care is a system that allows a patient to get the same quality of treatment at home as he would get in a hospital. This privilege enables the patient to do away with the need for prolonged hospitalization. The home health service is usually paid by the private insurance or medicare. In some cases, the patients themselves meet the expenses. In home health care, the health care is provided by qualified health professionals. This makes the system different from home care which is not necessarily rendered by health professionals. The ability of the patient to do the basic activities and simple daily tasks are assessed before recommending them for home health care. Nurses, physical therapists and home care assistants perform their duty well to make life comfortable for the patient.
