The client requires home medical services as they need a walker and high-rise toilet seat after their hip replacement surgery. The home medical service provider can deliver medical equipment to the client's home and provide education on its proper use. Custodial services focus on providing assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. High-technology pharmacology services involve complex medication management. Hospice services provide end-of-life care.
