In-Home Care for People with Compromised Immune Systems
Living with a compromised immune system can make daily life challenging. The risk of infection is heightened, making a clean, safe environment even more important. And going out for even the briefest periods can present additional danger of infection.
Homebound health care services provide invaluable support, allowing immunocompromised people to live independently while still receiving the care and assistance they need. Our dedicated, professional caregivers understand the needs of people with compromised immune systems.

Immunocompromised vs. Immunosuppressed: What’s the Difference?
Both immunocompromised and immunosuppressed people have weakened immune systems, but the cause of that weakness differs between the two groups.
- Immunocompromised people have a medical condition that weakens the immune system. These conditions include HIV, diabetes, and many more.
- Immunosuppressed people are undergoing treatment (such as chemotherapy) or taking medications known to suppress immune function (like corticosteroids, post-transplant medicine intended to prevent organ rejection, or various drugs used to treat autoimmune diseases).
The Challenges of Living with a Compromised Immune System
Living with a compromised immune system can be physically and emotionally demanding. Those dealing with being immunocompromised may face a range of challenges, including:
- Increased risk of infection: Exposure to germs can lead to serious health complications.
- Limited mobility: Some conditions may affect physical abilities, making it difficult to perform daily tasks.
- Fatigue: The body's constant battle against illness can cause extreme tiredness.
- Isolation: Fear of infection can lead to social isolation and loneliness.
- Emotional well-being: Coping with a chronic illness can take a toll on mental health.
