Lastly, the neighborhood and built environment hinder the use of home care services by posing a threat to the patients’ safety. The environmental hazards that impact the client’s health outcomes and progress act as a barrier to home-based care (Grönvall and Kyng, 2013). Factors such as lack of infection control, unsuitable physical layout, and poor sanitation restrict clients’ different needs receiving home care. It is also difficult for hospitals to embed home care programs due to clinicians’ lack of safety. Healthcare givers can be assigned to neighborhoods with high crime rates, which discourages care management services.
