Learn The Real Difference Between Home Health And Home Care
Looking for real clarity on caring for a loved one at home? We sit with Donata McCulloch of Living Well Home Care to unpack what families actually need during those fragile first days after a hospital discharge and how to avoid the common pitfalls that derail recovery. Instead of buzzwords, you get plain talk: what home health covers, what home care provides, and how to match services to your family’s goals and budget.
Donata’s journey—from hospice social worker to hospital veteran to home care leader—shapes a grounded approach to support. She explains why a licensed vocational nurse visit within 24 to 48 hours can be a game changer, reviewing prescriptions, over-the-counter meds, and vitamins so families have a clear, accurate medication plan. We dig into hands-on caregiver training inside an in-office lab with a hospital bed and mannequin, so transfers, personal care, and dementia communication aren’t learned on the fly in your living room. We also highlight wheelchair van transport as a practical bridge to keep specialist and primary care appointments on track, reducing stress and costly setbacks.
This conversation brings a neighborly, local lens to senior care—licensed, bonded, and built on relationships rather than franchise volume. You’ll hear how word-of-mouth referrals grow when families see consistent care, clear communication, and compassionate follow-through. If you’ve ever wondered why a small agency can feel more responsive, or how to vet providers for safety and quality, you’ll walk away with a checklist you can use today: understand home health vs home care, confirm medication support, ask about training and supervision, and clarify transportation options. Book a complimentary assessment, free of charge.
