Homecare and Dependency Care

A primary home care service is assistance with activities of daily Living. activities also known as (ADLs) which include bathing, dressing, eating, and using the restroom. They are essential to people with disabilities regarding daily activities. 

Home care services and care for dependence are related but carry differences in key aspects. They are services designated for people dependent on their families or carers for their daily needs. In order to differentiate these two types of care, we have to know the case, needs, and personality of the person in question.

  • Level and intensity of care

Dependency Care: Extended, often long-term, and intensive, typically requiring 24-hour or around-the-clock care. Individuals in dependency care need continuous support due to their conditions.

  • Level of Care

Homecare: is for short-term recuperation, wherein it can be due to surgery. It doesn’t necessarily have to be 24 hours in care.

Homecare: Patients who need hands-on care in activities of daily living but who are capable of being independent for the most part. Services generally include hygienic services, medication reminders, companionship, and light chore help.

Dependency Care: This targets the high care needs, like aged persons, people with disabilities, or chronic sicknesses. The care provided is usually intensive. It encompasses medical assistance, mobility assistance, and assistance with daily activities.

  • Type of Aid

Homecare: Most of the care is non-medical; it aims at comfort and assistance in living. Among these services are preparation of meals, housekeeping, doing errands, and socializing.

Dependency Care: It addresses both medical and non-medical needs. It includes specialized treatment, therapy and also requires medical equipment. And it is delivered by professionals.

  • Independence of Care Receiver

Homecare: The receivers are partially independent. They can perform some tasks on their own while they need the assistance of a caregiver.

Dependency Care: The clients are either fully or partially dependent on carers to perform day-to-day tasks. In that case, they need maximum physical, medical and emotional support.
