Home nursing as care by a non-professional is differentiated from HOME CARE SERVICES provided by professionals: visiting nurse, home health agencies, hospital, or other organized community group. |
Guide Notes: | by non-professionals only (family, friends, etc.): do not confuse with HOME CARE SERVICES (by professional: visiting nurse, public health nurse, etc.) |
Respite Care - Patient care provided in the home or institution intermittently in order to provide temporary relief to the family home care giver. |
