Two different kinds of help
The terms sound similar, but they describe different services. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right support for your loved one.
What is home care (non-medical)?
홈 care is non-medical support with the activities of daily life — bathing, dressing, meals, companionship, light housekeeping, errands, and medication reminders. It helps people stay safe and independent at home. Harmony Support provides non-medical home care as a New Jersey Health Care Service Firm.
What is home health care (medical)?
홈 health care involves clinical services provided by licensed medical professionals — skilled nursing, wound care, or physical therapy — usually ordered by a physician after an illness or hospital stay.
How to tell which you need
If your loved one mainly needs help with everyday living and companionship, that is home care. If they need skilled clinical treatment, that is home health care. Many families use non-medical home care alongside any medical care their loved one receives.
