A degree in Home health nursing refers to the care of acute and chronically ill patients who are homebound or who want to maintain their independence by receiving health care in the home environment. The home health nurse develops and individual health care plan for the patient and helps to keep a balance between medical needs and the patient’s desire to lead as normal of a life as possible. Many of the services are available in both the hospital and the home, so both home health and acute care nurses might collaborate with respiratory therapists, occupational therapists, social workers and speech-language pathologists.
