Home doctor visits are a proven, effective care model. Research from the NIH shows they improve outcomes and patient satisfaction, making home-based care a growing priority for families.

Global aging has created record demand for home health aides (HHAs). This guide outlines the HHA career path, training, and growth strategies within the evolving home-care industry.

Managing chronic illnesses is difficult for most adults, forcing endless clinic trips. This drives the shift to home-based chronic care—a proactive model offering continuous, personalized care comfortably delivered at home.

Unlike old devices, smart tools provide your care team with patterns from daily life, not just snapshots from clinic visits. Examples include smart scales, CGMs, and fall sensors.

While these devices enhance safety and comfort, it is vital to understand that "smart" does not always mean "better," and users must know their limits.

Each year, about 795,000 Americans have a stroke, making it a top cause of disability and death. CMS and NIH StrokeNet promote faster, safer recovery through Home Health Care (HHC) after hospital discharge.
