Home health services can include nursing, physical and occupational, as well as speech therapy and even bath aide services. It’s a great value. Remember, just because you could toilet and shower before hospital stay doesn’t mean you can still do those things without great effort or huge fall risk. Home health will make sure you can still take care of yourself safely with your new level of function.
