Hemmohoito

Hemmohoito, also known as home care or home health care, refers to professional medical or non-medical assistance provided to individuals in their own homes. This type of care aims to support individuals who are recovering from illness or injury, managing chronic conditions, or experiencing age-related limitations, allowing them to remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. Hemmohoito services can encompass a wide range of support, including personal care such as bathing and dressing, medication management, wound care, physical or occupational therapy, and companionship. The specific services offered are typically tailored to the individual's needs and can be arranged through private agencies, healthcare providers, or public health services. The goal of hemmohoito is to improve the patient's quality of life, promote independence, and reduce the need for hospitalization or long-term care facilities. It plays a crucial role in the continuum of care, bridging the gap between hospital discharge and full recovery or ongoing management of health conditions.
