From the Paper:

"In chapter one of her book "Community Health Nursing in Canada" Stranhope defines home health care as a way of working one on one with people who otherwise would not receive the proper medical treatment. Home health care is more than that though--it is a lifeline for the terminally ill. Many times contact with the home health nurse is the only contact a person has with other people. Hospice care is different from the purchased service of home health care--hospice care is a philosophy of care provided at the end of a person's life (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2005, pp. 7-13). Home health care helps seniors continue to live independent lives."
