2 - Home Care is safe.
"Many risks such as infection are eliminated or minimized when care is given at home," says Ross. Quality home care by professional caregivers can help prevent issues that may become very serious within the home like preventing falls in the home.
3 - Home care allows for maximum freedom.
Patients at home may be engaged with their typical daily activities as their health permits plus it allows patients to receive care in the least restrictive environment.
4 - Home care gives some control.

5 - Home care is personalized.
"The best reason to choose home care is because the care that will be received in the home will be individualized to each patient according to their specific needs, Milca Pabon, RN
6 - It eases burdens on the family.
Pabon explains, "With the length of stay in the hospital decreasing patients are going home earlier and many of them do not choose to go to a rehabilitation center to recover," rather, they want to go home to their own environment and have someone provide them with the care they'll need to reach their maximum level of function.
7 - Home care is comfortable.
