Home healthcare institutions refer to non-profit organizations or institutions that specialize in providing medical and healthcare services to groups such as the elderly, the disabled and the sick. They have medical and nursing staff and equipment to provide basic care and nursing, which can broaden the scope of primary health care services in the community, make it convenient for residents to seek medical treatment close to their homes, and ease the pressure on hospitals in urban areas to provide care.
Services provided by home healthcare organizations include basic health counseling, medical care, rehabilitation therapy and medication management. The organizations help residents solve medical problems in their lives by providing targeted services. At the same time, under special circumstances, home healthcare organizations can also set up special services such as short-term care and emergency medical assistance to provide more professional and comprehensive medical services for the elderly, the disabled and other disadvantaged groups.
The development of home healthcare organizations is a manifestation of the continuous extension of the social healthcare service system to the grassroots. With the aging of the population and social changes, the functions and service modes of home healthcare organizations are rapidly evolving. In the future, home healthcare organizations need to further improve their service standards and quality management, strengthen staff training and skills upgrading, and continuously improve their service system to provide community residents with better, more convenient and more caring medical care services.
