This is the most common type of home health services as it is where a registered nurse is sent by a consulted doctor to monitor the patient's condition. This includes wound dressing, ostomy care, intravenous therapy, regulated medication, pain control, and other health support services.

This is common for those who suffer from injuries. Physical therapists help relieve pain in order for the patient to recover faster, move better, and strengthen the afflicted muscles or bones.

This is common for those with disabilities or illnesses that prevent them from doing everyday activities such as eating, bathing, dressing, and more. It also involves the treatment of physical, mental, developmental, and emotional ailments of a patient.
