Home health care allows you the comfort of being in your own home as well as independence. You can customize the kind of home health care services you need. So you may have home health care that is 24 x 7 or you may choose to take limited help at home, if you feel you need help in just taking a bath or perhaps you need rehabilitative therapy. When you are registered at a nursing home, you are required to stay there along with other patients. There is very little independence you have. The nursing home schedules your activities and makes sure you are getting all the proper treatment you need.
A hospital is what is often referred to a tertiary medical facility. People admitted to hospital require acute medical services. They have greater levels of trained staff (MD, RN, EEN, Physio, OT, Pharm). Nursing homes are specific to long term or end of life care. They are designed to momic the home environment and are usually specifically for the aged in society. They use fewer trained staff (RN, EEN) and lots of manually trained staff (AIN or Cert 4).
