如今在美国,病人住院治疗与其说是惯例,不如说已成为特例,那些无需住院又急需护理的居家老人更是成千上万。因此,家庭护理已成为美国人接受健康护理的首选途径,几乎和每个美国人的生活息息相关。无论在乡村还是城市,无论收入多少也无论社会地位的高低,越来越多的美国人都选择了家庭健康护理服务。家庭健康护理目前已高度专业化和技术化,足以适应老人和其他病残人士离开医院回家治疗康复的需要。 Nowadays in the United States, hospitalization of patients is not so much a practice as it has become a special case, and there are thousands of elderly people who need hospitalization without urgent need of care. Therefore, home care has become the preferred way for Americans to take care of their health and is almost always associated with the life of every American. No matter in rural or urban areas, regardless of income and social status, more and more Americans choose home health care services. Family health care is now highly specialized and technical enough to meet the needs of the elderly and other disabled people leaving the hospital to go home for treatment and rehabilitation.
