Home Health Services
Home Health Services
Home Health Care helps seniors live as independently as possible for as long as possible, given the limits of their medical condition. It covers a wide range of services and which supplement care given within a Groom home. More specifically, home health care may include occupational and physical therapy, speech therapy, and even skilled nursing. It may involve helping the elderly with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and eating.
Home Health care is medically oriented, and usually involves helping seniors recover from an illness or injury. That is why the people who provide home health care are often licensed practical nurses, therapists, or home health aides. Most work for home health agencies, hospitals, or public health departments that are licensed by the state.
To receive Home Health services, a patient must be eligible for Medicare, or coverage by private insurance, and agree to receive curative care.

Hospice Services
Hospice is not a place it is a philosophy of care. The hospice philosophy or viewpoint accepts death as the final stage of life. The goal of hospice is to enable patients to continue an alert, pain-free life and to manage other symptoms so that their last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones. Hospice affirms life and does not hasten or postpone death. Hospice care treats the person rather than the disease; it focuses on quality rather than length of life. It provides family-centered care and involves the patient and the family in making decisions. Care is provided for the patient and family 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Hospice care can be given in the patient's home, a hospital, nursing home, or private hospice facility.
Hospice care is medically oriented. The people who provide Hospice care are licensed practical nurses, therapists, or home health aides. Most work for Hospice agencies, hospitals, or public health departments that are licensed by the state. To receive Hospice services, a patient must be eligible for Medicare, or coverage by private insurance, and agree to receive comfort care rather than curative care.
