Understanding the Difference Between Home Care and Home Health Non-medical vs. medical: What’s the difference?

Home care and home health are often used interchangeably—but they provide very different services.

• Home Care (Dolce Vita): non-medical support like bathing, companionship, meal prep, and transportation.
• Home Health: medical services provided by nurses or therapists (like wound care, injections, or post-surgical rehab).

Both can be essential—but knowing the distinction helps families plan the right care.

Dolce Vita provides non-medical, compassionate support to help clients thrive in the comfort of home.
