Home care makes it possible for the patient to remain at home rather than use residential, long-term, or institutional-based nursing home care. In a Home Care Program, Home Care Aides provide living assistance services to the patient in their own home. Depending on the individual needs, Senior Home Care can be the right form of elderly care assistance.
With Home Care (or "at home care") a personal care attendant assists the elder person with daily personal activities (for example, help with the laundry, bathing, dressing, cooking, and cleaning) at your home. Additionally, the home caregiver can help in the use of home care equipment such as mobility aides and bathroom equipment.

Life assistance services include help with daily tasks such as Meal Preparation, Medication reminders, Laundry, Light Housekeeping, Errands, Shopping, Transportation, assistance with Home Health Care equipment, and Companionship. Activities of daily living (ADL) refers to six activities (bathing, dressing, transferring, using the toilet, eating, and walking) that reflect the patient's capacity for self-care.
Unlike Home Health Care, Home Care is classified as a non-medical form of elderly care, and can be provided by persons who are not nurses, doctors, or other licensed medical personnel. It is best suited for individuals who do not require constant medical supervision. For those individuals who do require a higher level of medical supervision, Home Health Care may be a better choice.
Choosing a home care plan can be a big decision, and it is very important to select the proper level of care to meet your total home care needs. Noble Home Health Care has the experience to help you. Our helpful Home Care Assessment can identify the best option for your situation. In addition to Home Care, Noble Home Health Care also provides Home Health Care (for those who do need medical home care) and Respite Care.
Respite care (or "in home respite care") is the provision of short-term, temporary relief to those who are caring for family members who might otherwise require permanent placement in a facility outside the home. Noble Home Health Care is a proud member of the San Diego County Home Care community and we are committed to providing you quality elderly home care services. If you would like more information on current California Home Care practices, or would like to schedule a Home Care Assessment to best determine whether it is the right choice for you, please contact Noble Home Health Care for all your Home Care Elderly needs.
