Seniors who prefer to live independently in their own homes, or stay with a family member, and have access to outside supportive care and assistance when needed. Home Health and Home Care agencies provide two main types of services that are custodial (skilled) or supportive (unskilled) care.

Non-Medical: Supportive services, provided by non-medical home care agencies, offer assistance with personal care such as bathing, grooming, dressing, in addition to help with meal preparation, housekeeping, and shopping. Assistance with self-administered medications, ambulation and exercises, and transportation to medical appointments. These supportive services can be arranged for any amount of time needed including up to 24/7 or on a respite or temporary basis.

Medical: Skilled services provided by medical home health agencies, offer nursing care, physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy as well as social services and hospice care. Following a specific plan of care, and under the supervision of a skilled discipline such as a nurse or therapist, a certified home health aide may provide personal care for a limited time. These skilled services are provided on an intermittent basis, with scheduled home visits to homebound clients only, under a plan of treatment ordered by a physician.
