So what is the difference between Home Health and a Provider? A provider is someone who can help with daily life tasks like light housekeeping, personal care, repite care, companionship, and accompanied transportation. These providers can be a friend, family member, or a fresh new face. We do not have providers, but can lead you in the right direction to a company that can help.
