What is Home Health Care?
The term “home health care” can be confusing because it is not just one kind of care. Skilled Home Health Care and Private Home Health Care are two distinct types of home health services, with significant differences. Many people, unaware of the differences, use the terms interchangeably, but the distinction is that Skilled Home Health Care is medical care provided by licensed medical professionals while Private Home Health Care refers to assistance with the activities of daily life by home health aides.
There is a wealth of home health care information available, but it can be overwhelming, so it is essential to understand the kind of services that are best for you. We can help. Often, a combination of Skilled Home Health and Private Home Health Care services are optimal. MorseLife’s preferred home health care services, both Skilled Home Health and Private Home Health Care, offer options to help recuperation from injury, recovery from illness, and care for chronic illness, as well as help with basic tasks at home.

What is Private
Home Health Care?
Private Home Health Care refers to “non-clinical” personal care. It often complements physician-directed, Medicare-certified Skilled Home Health Care. Private care assists with personal routines, meal preparation, medication reminders, and household chores. Using both Private and Skilled Home Health Care simultaneously can often help recovery after a hospitalization.
MorseLife’s premier Private Home Health Care offers a variety of options, supported by trained, empathetic care providers who have a particular understanding of the needs of seniors. Our Skilled Home Health Care helps seniors recuperating from injury and recovery from illness.

It is our duty to insure that seniors receive care services at home in an atmosphere of trust, security, and comfort.

My husband suffered a stroke that sent him first to the hospital and then to rehab. When he was finally able to come home, he was still recuperating. His doctor prescribed skilled nursing services for him at home. Since he’d been at MorseLife Short-Term Rehab and received such great care and therapy, we contacted them for Skilled Home Health Care. The care he receives is outstanding and has been invaluable to his recovery. He’s thrilled to be home again and continues to be on the mend. MorseLife Skilled Home Health Care has made all the difference.

I worried about my mother because she lives alone and was becoming frail. She needed help with the basic daily routines of life. But I work full time and am unable to do those things for her. A friend told me about how MorseLife Private Home Health Care helped her mom. I called them; they visited mom, did an assessment and set up a plan for her, helping her with daily activities like bathing and dressing, shopping, preparing meals, and even just keeping her company. MorseLife Private Home Health Care has made it possible for her to stay in her own home while receiving the assistance she needs, and has given us both peace of mind.
