Q: I have heard a lot of different words used for Home Care: Live-in Home Care; Residential Home Care; Non-Medical Home Care, and Respite Care. I am confused. What is the difference between these services?
-
Live-in home care is a service option that involves the Caregiver residing with a Client while providing home care services. In most cases, the Client is unable to live with family or friends. Live-in home care can be obtained for long-term purposes or short-lived instances. Residential home care refers to services provided by Caregivers to Clients living in a nursing home, residential group home or retirement community. Individuals in these setting often require a range of personal care, nursing and medical services. Respite care is temporary, short term relief provided by Caregivers to those who are caring for family members. It is a good way to prevent family Caregiver burn out.
