Home care is a service that provides professional healthcare support in the comfort of your home. It offers tailored services, whether you're recovering from an injury or managing a chronic condition. These include nursing care, therapy, and medical or social services. Home care is a way to receive quality healthcare without needing prolonged hospitalization.

Services offered through home care are available for all kinds of needs at many stages of life and are not just for those in hospice care. Home care is a versatile service available to anyone who needs professional healthcare support in the comfort of their home. Suppose you're attempting to manage a chronic illness or simply need extra assistance. In that case, home care can provide tailored services to meet your unique needs. So don't hesitate to explore the possibilities of home care and find out how Schneck can support you.

Home care encompasses various services designed to meet different needs. At Schneck, we offer nursing and therapy home care services to support health at home.

### Nursing Home Care

Nursing home care involves skilled professionals providing medical assistance. Nursing support can include wound care, injections, pain management, catheter changes, ventilator support and post-surgery care. These professionals work under the direction of a physician to ensure the best possible care for you or your loved one at home.

### Therapy Home Care

Therapy home care services may include physical, occupational and speech therapy. Each service focuses on a form of rehabilitation. Physical therapists design care plans specific to mobility improvement. Occupational therapists aim to enhance independence in daily activities. Speech therapists help with communication, swallowing and cognitive skills.
