The findings reveal a significant knowledge gap among consumers, with a majority struggling to differentiate between these two categories of care.

The survey, conducted as part of Freedom Home Care’s ongoing commitment to improving community awareness, highlights a common misconception: many individuals conflate home care with home health services. Home care typically encompasses non-medical support, such as assistance with daily activities like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and light housekeeping, aimed at enhancing quality of life and independence. In contrast, home health services involve clinical care provided by licensed healthcare professionals, such as nurses or therapists, to address medical needs like wound care, medication management, or physical therapy. The survey findings suggest that this lack of clarity often leads to inappropriate care choices, or delays in starting care, potentially compromising the well-being of individuals and their families.
To address this issue, Freedom Home Care, LLC is launching a robust community education initiative in Owatonna and Mankato. The organization is rolling out a series of website resources, informational pieces, and other accessible resources designed to clarify the distinctions between home care and home health services. These efforts aim to empower local Owatonna and Mankato residents with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions when selecting elderly care options for themselves or their loved ones. By fostering a deeper understanding of these services, Freedom Home Care seeks to ensure that individuals receive the precise level of support required to maintain their health, independence, and dignity.
“We believe that understanding the differences between home care and home health is essential for anyone navigating these services,” said a spokesperson for Freedom Home Care, LLC. “Our goal is to equip the Owatonna community with clear, reliable information so they can confidently choose the care that best meets their needs. We’re committed to being a trusted resource for families throughout this process.”
The implications of the survey are particularly significant as the demand for home based elderly care continues to rise. A better-informed public will be better positioned to select services that align with their specific requirements, ultimately improving outcomes and enhancing quality of life. Freedom Home Care invites all Owatonna residents to participate in upcoming educational events, including interactive workshops and discussions with care experts. These initiatives will provide practical guidance and answer common questions about care options.
