The term “home health care” describes the wide range of health care services that can be provided by Tranquil Home Care in your home. There are many reasons why people need home health care. Some have chronic conditions or disabilities that require ongoing care or need assistance. Other individuals may need certain therapies or assistance with activities of daily living.

“Non-medical” care typically refers to companion services, light housekeeping, and running errands. It could also include medication reminders and transportation to medical appointments. This level of care is often sought by the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those transitioning from a hospital or medical facility to the home.

"Skilled" medical care follows a specific plan of care under the supervision of a physician, nurse, or therapist. Home health care services such as nursing care, physical, speech, and respiratory therapies, as well as social services and hospice fall into this category. Skilled medical care in the home can help provide a comforting alternative to residing in a hospital, nursing home, or assisted living community.
