What Is In-Home Care?

Non-Medical Support for Safe, Independent Living

In-home care provides non-medical assistance that helps individuals live safely and comfortably in their own homes. It’s ideal for older adults needing help with daily activities, those managing chronic conditions, recovering from a medical event, or living with a disability or special needs.

Unlike medical care, in-home support focuses on daily living—offering personal care, companionship, and household help—without requiring a doctor’s order. These services offer convenience, privacy, and an affordable alternative to institutional care.

Home Health vs. In-Home Care: What’s the Difference?

While often confused, Home Health and In-Home Care are distinct services

home_health_img1

In-Home Care

  • Non-medical support
  • Bathing, dressing, meals, errands
  • No physician order needed
  • Private pay, long-term care insurance

Home Health Care

  • Skilled medical care
  • Nursing, physical therapy, wound care
  • Physician order needed
  • Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance

Some individuals may benefit from both services. For example, a nurse may provide wound care while a caregiver helps with meals and companionship—offering complete, well-rounded care at home. At Anova, our in-home care services are tailored to support independence, comfort, and quality of life—right where it matters most: at home.
