There are a few misconceptions around home care. From who can receive it, to the various services available, not enough people understand what is possible regarding homecare support. Here, we expand on what the term home care can actually cover and show you how home care can benefit the life of anyone who needs it.

Who might need care?

When we think of the term ‘homecare, we tend to confuse it with a nursing home for the older adults or presume it is only for a select group of people. However, homecare is an all-encompassing phrase for a whole host of different services that are offered to a variety of people. All ages, numerous conditions and situations, and people from all walks of life are can access and benefit from home care.

Here are just a few reasons you or a loved one might look into getting home care:

  • Mental health homecare– remembering appointments, medication, or to get therapy for addiction
  • Cancer care – as well as palliative care, cancer care at home can help with additional therapies and things like washing, eating or dressing
  • Post-operative homecare – including help with transitioning back home and managing needs post-surgery
  • Paediatric care at home– for children and or young adults who are ill or who have medical needs that cannot always be provided for in a hospital setting. This can include asthma or diabetes management and wound care.
  • Companion homecare – For those who may have minor medical needs such as wound care, support and traveling assistance to appointments
