I just started working with seniors and am a bit confused about the difference between hiring a home health care agency or hiring a nursing care agency.

      home health care–they come to the persons house and bath them and take their temp and blood pressure and stay 2 hrs per house.
      nursing care—they may come out and change urine bags on
      the elderly, and bring medical stuff.
      Both probably take insurance.
