Community Care
Community care refers to a system of support and services designed to help individuals within a community, particularly those who are elderly, disabled, or facing health challenges. This approach emphasizes providing care in familiar environments, such as homes or local facilities, rather than in hospitals or institutions. It aims to enhance the quality of life and promote independence among community members.
Services in community care can include home health care, day programs, and support groups. These services are often coordinated by local organizations, healthcare providers, and volunteers, ensuring that individuals receive the necessary assistance while fostering social connections and community engagement.
