What’s the Difference?

Home care is a broad term that includes everything from basic hygiene assistance to medical procedures — but not all care is the same. In this article, we break down the key differences between personal care (like bathing and grooming) and skilled nursing care (such as injections, wound dressing, and health monitoring). Understanding this distinction helps families choose the right type of service for their loved ones. We’ll also explain when each type of care is needed and how both can work together to provide full support at home.
