Home Health Care, Personal Care and Support Services, Healthcare Staffing
The Interim HealthCare brand encompasses home care and health care staffing services. Home Care is a diverse and dynamic industry. Services in the home may be necessary due to acute illness, long term health conditions, permanent disabilities, terminal illness or the impact of aging. Home health care personnel include nurses, therapists and other specialized professionals who provide clinical intervention such as wound care, assistance with medication, improved ability to walk, or teaching individuals and their families' self-management of their condition while remaining at home. Personal care and support services are non-medical and include companionship, homemaking and assistance with activities of daily living such as grooming and bathing. These services are usually provided by personal care assistants as well as companions and homemakers. Healthcare staffing can include providing temporary staff to facilities or companies through a contractual agreement.
