Home health is a professional medical service provided in the comfort of a person’s own home. It is designed for individuals who are recovering from surgery, illness, injury, or those who need ongoing medical care due to chronic conditions. These services are delivered by licensed healthcare professionals such as nurses, physical therapists, and home health aides under the supervision of a physician. The goal is to help patients regain their independence, manage their health effectively, and avoid unnecessary hospital visits.

Unlike non-medical home care, home health focuses on skilled care such as wound care, medication management, physical therapy, and monitoring of vital signs.
