Home care aims at supporting people with various degrees of dependency to remain at home rather than use residential, long-term, or institutional-based nursing care. This study, published by Philadelphia University, Department of Hospital in 2014, aimed to highlight the most common challenges related to home health care (HHC) services in Jordan as perceived by the managers of HHC agencies. The study discusses the main challenges of HHC services as perceived by managers such as the shortage of female staff, lack of governance and regulation, poor management, unethical practices, lack of referral systems, and low accessibility of the poor and less privileged as HHC services are not included in health insurance schemes. The study presents its conclusions and recommendations for improving the effectiveness, efficiency and quality of services delivered to patients.
