Detailed Answer

Home health care, also called in-home care, is when skilled or custodial long-term care happens at home. Home health care is becoming increasingly popular today as the way we receive care progresses. 

In-home care usually involves a qualified long-term care professional like a licensed nurse or home health aide coming to your home to provide care services. 

These professionals can offer the same services as most traditional long-term care facilities. They may also offer more daily living assistance, like help with housekeeping or meals.
