Home Care Definition:

In Dartmouth, MA, Home care is nursing or personal care services offered to a homebound client (one who is convalescing, disabled, or terminally ill)

Home care services encompass any appropriate support services that enable a person to live comfortably at home. In-home care services can support someone who is aging and requires assistance to live independently, someone who is managing chronic health difficulties, someone who is recuperating from a medical setback, or someone who has special needs or a handicap. Professional caregivers, such as nurses, caregivers, and therapists, provide either long-term or short-term care at home, depending on the needs of the individual.

Senior Home Care in Dartmouth might be the solution to achieving the greatest possible quality of life.

It can provide security, safety, and greater personal autonomy; it can help manage a continuing medical problem; it can assist in avoiding unnecessary hospitalization; and it can help with healing after an illness, serious injuries, or hospitalization while receiving care in the familiar surroundings of one’s own home.

  • Friendship
  • Care for a short or long period of time for sickness, disease, or impairment.
