The definition of home health care is broad and far reaching. Basically, any type of medical care that you can imagine (aside from surgeries and complicated procedures that require heavy equipment or machinery) can be provided to elderly or disabled patients in the comfort of their homes. One of these types of services is the custodial care offered by employees and volunteers of home health care providers.
- Drivers/companions. Patients who are unable to leave their house on their own can receive driver and companion services.
- Daily living activities. This includes receiving help in all activities of daily life, from bathing to eating.
There are many other facets to custodial care. To find out more, contact a home health care provider in your area.
