Role of Home Health Care in Healthy Aging.

 “Ageing is a beautiful art for those who know to scream colors.”             

World Health Organization has observed that the functional abilities that keep seniors happy are developed and maintained as part of healthy aging. The silver community has been taken into consideration due to the rise in the older population. Particularly in terms of health promotion and preventive health issues, primary health care services encounter challenges due to the overall health services' constrained capacity. To stop the senior population from developing more serious health issues, the standard of health care services for them must be raised.

According to some studies, approximately 90% of adults over 65 prefer to spend as much time as possible at home. However, additional care is frequently required to make it happen, which is why some families turn to home healthcare services. 

Due to its accessibility and affordability, home healthcare is preferred, encouraged, and even urged. Home healthcare has also advanced in a similar way in terms of its capacity to provide trustworthy, cutting-edge care at home that is technologically enabled. One of the healthcare sectors with the fastest growth rates also has the potential to develop a hyper-scaled care delivery model. With the entry of digital and virtual care technology the home healthcare sector has been strengthened.

Home health care services aim to improve function and independence, support the client's optimal level of well-being, and support the patient in staying at home rather than being sent to a hospital or long-term care facility. In contrast to receiving care in a nursing home or another facility, home healthcare workers enable people to live at home by providing necessary health and personal care complementary services. People over 65 and those with illnesses or impairments of all ages make up the vast bulk of those who receive Home healthcare services.

The phrase "Heal where you belong" took on new significance with the development of home health care, especially for seniors. The best healthcare is now available to seniors who are aging in place right at their front door, with the main advantage being complete services. Seniors can choose a convenient time for a doctor's appointment or nursing care, and they can tailor the services to their specific needs. This allows them to feel independent while yet recovering without going outside.

Witnessing their loved ones recover in the comfort of their own homes, families can observe the benefits of home healthcare services. The elderly, who are the most vulnerable of the group, get the most from home healthcare services. It is the most sensible option for senior citizens who want to recover or receive therapy at home.

Healthy aging is more than just being disease-free. To promote good aging, everyone in the social and health care sectors can contribute at any level. Collaboration between healthcare professionals, primary care, and various levels of healthcare services, as well as healthcare that works with patients, families, and communities, are all necessary to ensure the health of the old, starting with the prevention of youthful health problems.

After the pandemic, home health care services for the elderly changed their lives because they could now receive high-quality medical care right where they were. Seniors are mostly unable to make their regular hospital visits for checkups or other nursing services like IV infusions or wound care. Elderly people in need of decent healthcare were made to suffer because of the painful yet necessary long waiting periods and travel times to hospitals.
