Home healthcare involves medical services provided at home to treat chronic health conditions or help with recovery from illness, injury, or surgery. It includes nursing, therapies, medical social work, wound care, patient and caregiver education, and home health aides. On the other hand, home care focuses on helping individuals with daily activities to ensure they remain safe and comfortable at home, including personal care, housekeeping, transportation, meal preparation, companionship, and medication reminders.
