What Is Mental Health Care?

Los Angeles | Orange County | San Diego | San Francisco

At-home mental health care, also known as psychiatric home care, refers to the care one receives at home to assist with the difficulties that come with having various psychiatric disorders. Patients receive at-home assistance and coordination from nurses who are trained to work alongside psychiatrists and therapists.

The goal of at-home mental health care is not to medically treat psychiatric patients. Rather, the goal is to assist these patients with their needs and to help them feel more comfortable as they receive treatment for their conditions. The in-home nurses who give this care are trained to coordinate therapy sessions, manage daily activities, manage medication schedules, and improve the overall quality of life for their patients. Again, the goal of this treatment is to support the patient as much as possible in the comfort of his or her own home.

Benefits of In-Home Mental Health Care:

In addition to receiving care from the comfort of your home, at-home mental health care offers numerous benefits, three of which include:

• Individualized Care: Many care facilities are understaffed and over-stressed, which can lead to a lack of unique care for each patient. With at-home care, however, patients are guaranteed to receive individualized care that is tailored to their specific needs.

• Privacy: This is crucial for the treatment of any disease and can be hard to find at a hospital or group therapy home. At-home mental health care offers patients complete privacy, which leads to a more comfortable treatment and recovery process.

• Family Unity: One aspect of care that leads to a more comfortable recovery process is the ability to always be close to family. At-home care offers patients this opportunity, while it also makes life easier for their loved ones, as they do not need to visit a care facility to see them.

Which Mental Health Conditions Can Be Treated At Home?
