What is Home care?

Home care is help with daily activities to allow people stay at home. It can be used often for elder people with or without chronic illness, people living with disabilities and those who are recovering from surgical illness.

Home care is otherwise called personal care, companion care or custodial care. Services include toileting, bathing, dressing, grooming, transportation, meal preparation and medication reminders.

Physical & Mental Well-being

Home care is for people who are at old age or suffering with illness or people who depend on someone to do their daily chores. These people also tend to be affected with the feeling of loneliness and depression. It will be exacerbated when they are staying at hospitals or care centers. Here home care is the best option for receiving the expected care at home itself with the same environment and loved ones. In fact, it significantly contributes to increased self-esteem which enhances happiness and overall physical & mental well-being.
