Home care nursing is when an individual needs nursing care, but does not want (and not able) to leave their home. In this case, a homecare nurse will come in to perform necessary medical care.
Home nursing is nursing care which is provided in a home environment, rather than in a medical facility. There are many circumstances in which people require home nursing care, ranging from people who are temporarily incapacitated to people who require long-term nursing care at home.
Home care is a way more affordable option. Living at a nursing home can be costly and so can the hosptial if you don't have insurance. Home care may even be covered under special assistance. Call around.
The main principle behind home care nursing is keeping the client in their home and out of the hospital or nursing home. Home care nurses help their clients with activities of daily living and keep their clients company. These duties are usually carried out by a certified nursing assistant.

Many people do not realize that nursing homes offer more than just residential care for those unable to live on their own. Nursing homes also offer in-patient rehabilitation. If rehabilitation is still needed once a patient's hospital stay is no longer covered by insurance, a nursing home will often be able to care for the patient. Most insurances will cover the cost of their stay at the nursing home.

The cost of senior home care is typically lower than that of a nursing home because seniors receive care at home rather than in a facility.
