home >> consumers >> why home care?

Consumers overwhelmingly prefer home care delivered services to institutional care because it:

keeps families together
supports independence
is significantly less expensive
and more efficient than other
forms of health care
prevents or postpones institutionalization
involves the individual and family in
services that are delivered
represents the best American tradition










Home care is both the oldest and newest form of health care. Traditionally given at home throughout the centuries, home care now is taking advantage of modern technologies, making virtually anything that can be done in a hospital available at home. Home care is the most cost effective and satisfying type of health service available.To learn more about the home care services available in your area, call any IAHC member for assistance.
