Best Practice Considerations: In-Home Care vs. Medical Home Health 

Did you know there are differences between the services provided by in-home care and medical home health providers? A study by Johns Hopkins shows that about 25 million older Americans rely on home-based services as they age in place. 

From assistance with activities of daily living to wound care and therapy to regain one’s functional status, each plays an essential role in the care continuum. Especially for Aging Services Professionals, understanding the difference between these services can help determine the appropriate provider to support an individual’s plan of care goals.
