Understanding home healthcare (medical) vs in home care (caregiver)<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Home health care includes occupational & physical therapy, speech therapy, and skilled nursing, it is prescribed by a physician and is medical in nature. For example IV, intubation, and wound care. Health insurance such as Medicare and insurance is generally the payor for this service.<\/p>\n

\"Assisting<\/p>\n

In-home caregiving is non-medical in nature and may involve helping older adults with activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, and eating. It can also include assistance with cooking, cleaning, other housekeeping, and monitoring one\u2019s medication routine. Health insurance does not pay for these activities and costs are generally self-pay.<\/p>\n

It is important to understand that while physician care is critical, seniors need continued supervision at home, especially if family caregivers can\u2019t always be present. This care may include private duty professional caregivers who work in the home, nursing aides, homemakers, and companions.<\/p>\n

In-home caregivers are typically Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA\u2019s) and complete an 8-week certification program. Illinois requires 8 hours of initial caregiving training as well, which includes Home Safety Evaluation, Infection Control and Universal Precaution, Types of Disabilities, transferring a client, Assisting with Personal Care, Diets, Meal Planning and nutrition.<\/p>\n
