Patients who receive home health care immediately after hospital discharge are more likely to improve self-care. More often than not, patient outcomes improve in terms of wound improvement and healing, breathing, bathing, and less pain when moving around. Relative to acute-care settings, home health care is a much more cost-effective option. Healthcare at home is also completely personalized and focused on patients' needs and desired outcomes. Homecare patients enjoy more freedom and comfort, and in most cases homecare helps preventing re-hospitalization which can be frustrating.
