About Home Care
The average Medicare cost per day in a hospital or skilled nursing facility is estimated at over $5,000 and $500 respectively. The average Medicare cost per home care visit is approximately $125. Aside from being the most cost effective method of health care delivery, home health care improves the patients' quality of life by enabling them to remain in the comfort of their own home during times of illness, disability, or recuperation. Home care offers a wide variety of specialized services tailored to meet the needs of each individual patient. Home care also reinforces and supplements informal care by teaching the patient and their family members about the care giving process.
