Home Health Care vs In-Home Care:
Understanding the Difference

The terms “home health care” and “in-home care” are often used interchangeably, but they refer to distinct services, each with different scopes and focuses.

While home health care provides medical care at home, ComForCare’s in-home care focuses on non-medical assistance with daily living, enabling individuals to maintain their independence and safety at home. And it’s not just limited to elderly home care either; this service can be beneficial for people of all ages.

Understanding the nuances between both types of care is crucial to receiving the proper care that aligns with your specific health needs. Let’s delve into what makes these services different.

ComForCare’s In-Home Care: Non-Medical Assistance for Everyday Living

ComForCare’s services provide non-medical assistance to individuals who want to maintain their independence or age in place at home. Our compassionate caregivers offer several personalized support services, enabling clients to thrive in their own homes. These include:

  • Personal care, e.g., bathing, dressing, and grooming
  • Medication reminders and managing appointments
  • Meal preparation and light housekeeping
  • Transportation to appointments and errands

The key distinction between home health care and in-home care is the level of medical care that is provided. Our services are non-medical and focus on providing assistance with daily living. Home health care, in contrast, provides skilled medical care under the supervision of a healthcare provider. This level of care is often prescribed for individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or injury or for those managing chronic health conditions.
