Home care (sometimes known as “non-medical home care” or “private duty care”) is care that is generally delivered in the client’s home.
It is delivered according to the client’s needs and wants, and does not require a physician’s order. Home care is a service for the person who needs support and/or assistance with their activities of daily living. It is most often appropriate when a person requires care, and does not want to leave the comfort of her/his own home, and family or friends cannot easily or effectively provide the care the individual needs.
First Choice Senior Care provides care through certified caregivers and certified home health aides, who are specially trained and meet the requirements to provide care in the state of Arkansas. Home care can be long-term, short-term, occasional or 24/7. A plan of care is developed for each patient by First Choice Senior Care’s experienced team, along with the client and his or her family.
In some cases, home care is provided outside the home, such as a hospital, assisted living facility, retirement community or even a nursing home, where more specific and personal attention may be needed or desirable.
