What Is Private Home Care?
Private home care refers to the services provided by a licensed nurse or other health professional. These professionals provide care at the patient’s home, and may be RNs, LPNs, LVNs or PCAs. A private home care agency can be a good solution if you need help caring for an ill family member or loved one. This type of assistance is available for short or long term periods, depending on your needs. Often, the costs of hiring a private home care provider are comparable to the cost of in-home care, or even less.
