What is Home Health Care?

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 while recovering from surgery. While others may need certain therapies or assistance with activities of daily living.

How long does home health care last?

The length of service depends on each patient’s diagnosis and needs as directed in their physician’s plan of care. Some patients require several weeks of care, while others may remain on our service for several months. Patients are discharged from home health care services when the individual goals on the plan of care are met.

The plan of care is often revised as patient progress is noted.
