Nonmedical
Medical home care, on the other hand, is typically given for a shorter amount of time. Medical home care includes Physical therapy, nursing, occupational therapy.
It is more common to use medical home care after a hospitalization.
Sometimes, patients require a physical therapist visit to help get their strength back. Other times a nurse will visit to give medications or check on catheters/wound/bandages etc. However, the goal of medical home care is to “graduate”. Meaning, your family member gets better and hopefully doesn’t need physical therapy or nursing at home.
These are the basics, for more see the article: “What is Medical Home Care? and What is Non-Medical Home Care?“.
