Home Care is a phrase commonly used to refer to a wide range of health and social services delivered at the recipient's home and is synonymous to homehealth, home healthcare and homecare.

Generally, home care is appropriate when a person needs ongoing medical, nursing, social services, therapy treatment, or assistance with the essential activities of daily living over and above that which can be provided by family and friends.

More and more elderly, chronically or terminally ill, recovering, or disabled people want to live independent, non-institutionalized lives and are choosing home care services.
