Explanation

Home care in medicine refers to health services that are provided in a person's home to treat an illness or injury. This can include a wide range of care, such as nursing care, physical therapy, or help with daily activities like bathing and eating. It is often used when a person is recovering from a hospital stay, or for long-term care for chronic illnesses or disabilities. Home care is designed to be just as effective as care given in a hospital or skilled nursing facility.
