Home healthcare provides a compassionate option for children and adults needing help with illness, injury or disability. Statistics show that home care is cost effective with more rapid healing and lower incidence of infection, medication errors, anxiety and other unwanted complications. Many cares often provided in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes can be managed well at home in familiar surroundings, among loved ones and according to individual needs and desires. Many third-party payors offer good home care benefits, and most doctors are supportive of the choice of home care.
