Providing Private Home Nursing Care in Columbia

As a leader in private home health care, A1 Action Nursing Care - Columbia enables adults to live on their own, even if they have an injury or illness. Long term care in a nursing home can often be delayed this way.

Nursing, speech therapy, and physical and occupational therapy are some of the services most commonly provided by a home health care company. And adults can often need help with a wide range of other activities many of us take for granted, including cleaning, bathing, dressing, eating and administering medication.

The Emphasis of Home Health Care

Home health care places emphasis on medical assistance, while home care typically provides assistance with the areas listed above, and that is the biggest difference between the two. Someone needing assistance to recover from an injury or being ill often needs home health care. Professionals employed in home health care tend to be home health aides, therapists or nurses and are typically employed in a hospital, state-run public health department or by a private agency such as A1 Action Nursing Care - Columbia.
