One of the publicity issues home-based care faces is that most people don’t even understand the difference between home health care and home care, much to the chagrin of industry veterans in both sectors. But in the future, those same leaders are bullish on the merging of those two types of care.

Home care and home health care are separate services, yes. But together, could they unlock a doorway to the world of value-based care? Lots of organizations already provide both services, and referrals between those segments occur.

Increasingly, though, providers believe that home care and home health will end up supplementing each other. Each care type can augment the other, they believe. Particularly for those that are chronically ill.
