A home care agency provides health services to individuals and families in their homes.Home care was created to provide individualized care for people after hospital discharge but has increasingly included patients in a range of ages from very young to very old;those with mental,physical,or developmental challenges;and those requiring recovery to end-stage care.A rehabilitation centre is not required,as Mr.Jones is ambulatory.Assisted-living facilities are community-based residential facilities in which adults live in their own apartments and are provided with a range of support services such as meals,social and recreational programs,and laundry.A community health clinic is the first point of contact,offering a range of primary services that emphasize prevention,health promotion,health education,community development,and partnerships to develop a healthy local community.
