Home health care is a form of medical or non medical care provided in a patient’s home. It can include a wide range of services from complex care provided by Registered nurses like wound care to skilled nursing services provided by nurse aides like personal care. The skilled nursing services are typically categorized as activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).
