Is taking Holy Communion in a Church better than doing it at home?
Catholic AnswerCatholics do not "take" Holy Communion, they "receive" it. And Church, usually at Mass, is the place and time to receive Our Blessed Lord in the Holy Eucharist. The only time to receive Holy Communion at home is if you are sick, and a priest, deacon, or duly appointed Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist brings Him to you. Any other way or receiving Our Lord, unless specifically approved by your Bishop is not permitted by the Church. Finally, although it is still Holy Communion, it is infinitely better to receive Holy Communion during Mass both because a) just attending Mass, even without Holy Communion, is a great source of grace, b) and, believe it or not, being a Christian means being part of the Body of Christ. Being Christian is a corporate thing, you need to be worshipping with your fellow Christians, and receiving Holy Communion with them. So you are mistaken, it is not better to receive Holy Communion at home, and it is NEVER better to TAKE Holy Communion.

What if a non Catholic is taking holy communion how different is it from Catholic?
I am assuming you mean how different is communion in a non-catholic church vs. Holy Communion in a Catholic Church? In that instance, Holy Communion in a Catholic Church is, literally, the Body and Blood of Our Blessed Savior; brought about through the direct intervention of the Holy Spirit working through the priest who pronounces the words of consecration. For a Catholic to receive Holy Communion in a state of grace confers more grace through fulfilling Our Blessed Lord's command to eat His Body and drink His Blood. For a non-Catholic or a Catholic in a state of mortal sin to receive Holy Communion is to eat condemnation as St. Paul points out "and this is why many of your are ill and dying"
