What is Home Health Care?

Home health care encompasses a range of in-home services—ranging from non-medical support to skilled clinical treatment and therapy—designed to help individuals heal, manage chronic conditions, or maintain independence without leaving their home.

Home Care Services (Non-Medical Care)

Home care services, also known as non-medical care, focus on assisting with daily living activities and providing companionship. This level of care benefits seniors aging in place, individuals recovering from illness or injury who don’t require clinical treatment, and family caregivers needing extra support. NORVA Home Health Care’s personalized home care offerings include:

• Personal hygiene assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming)

• Meal planning, preparation, and feeding support

• Light housekeeping and laundry

• Errands, transportation, and medication reminders

• Friendly companionship and social engagement
