In-home care also referred to as disability care, is a broad term that covers a range of personal care services for adults aged anywhere from 18 to 64 years old. Typically, these services are for adults coping with some form of disability, injury, or illness.

In many cases, in-home care is ongoing care for those with long-term disabilities or chronic illnesses. In-home care may be provided for those with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, or chronic conditions such as ALS or paraplegia. In other cases, in-home care is provided for those recovering from a serious injury or illness.

In-home care helps those suffering from disability, injury, or illness by providing assistance with aspects of daily living. For those with physical difficulties, adult care helps out with tasks that are difficult or impossible to perform. For those with intellectual disabilities, care often includes monitoring and companionship.
