Homecare is paid or unpaid assistance provided to a person with a chronic disability or illness, living in the community. It is provided by a clinical NetWork made up of members who care for patients in the home or who have special interest in promoting the development of homecare as a viable alternative to in-hospital care. 

Homecare is the provision of assistance to persons over the age of 16 in their home, according to an assessment of their needs. The assistance could be practical, financial (not advice), or help with day to day activities. This involves the provision of comprehensive care by community members, NGOs, Community Based Organizations (CBOs), health workers and family members. This type of care is complementary to the existing health care services. Homecare, also known as domiciliary care, is health care provided in the patient's home by healthcare professionals (often referred to as home health care or formal care; in the United States, it is known as skilled care) or by family and friends (also known as caregivers, or known as a primary caregiver, who give informal care).
