Who can benefit from home health care?
Home health care can be a great option if you or a loved one is experiencing any of the following:
- Trouble leaving the house on your own
- Recent falls (within the past 60 days)
- Difficulty managing blood sugar levels (for those with diabetes)
- Challenges standing or walking
- Feelings of sadness, anxiety, or unease
- Open wounds that need care or sores that won’t heal
- New or chronic swelling in your legs, ankles, or feet
- Recent changes to your medications
- Shortness of breath or irregular blood pressure
- New diagnoses or change in condition
If any of these situations sound familiar, home health care may help you feel more supported, safe, and cared for at home.
