Both are correct, as well as health-care. There is no difference in meaning between them. This sheds some light. It seems that the expression is in the slow process of being converted from the combination of two words into a word in itself.
The compound word "healthcheck" is not common. This compound word may sound more natural to you because there is a common compound word used in this setting with almost the same meaning: "checkup". To see why "health check" is better, try replacing those two words with two words that have similar grammatical and semantic roles: "disk test".
I am aware that hospital and clinic can be used interchangeably. I finally decided to use 'medical facility'. Thanks for your time. The common English term would be Health Care Facility so if you want a single word, just use Facility; in context it should be clear that you mean health care facility.
The company would always use the term Client for the person they are caring for. It becomes a little more difficult when the carer is looking after a friend or family member - or even if they are giving more personal care on a one-to-one basis, when "Client" seems too impersonal, but we don't really have a better term to use.
1. BusinessDictionary.com certainly uses the closed compound attributively (as a noun used as if it were an adjective): recordkeeping system. But CAP recommends you use record-keeping if used attributively (but the solid form for the noun used as a noun).

It would be helpful if you could add a more specific description denoting what type of ‘doesn’t-careness’ you are looking for, and whether you are looking for a ...
I'm looking for a word to describe someone who enjoys grooming themselves or taking care of their appearance, but without the negative connotations of words like ' vain ' or ' self-conscious '.
I would tend to say, as a single-word description, that these types of people are quite passive. passive (adjective): accepting or allowing what happens or what others do, without active response or resistance. To directly address your example: Dave doesn't care if we have a salad, a burger, or a soup for lunch, he is very passive.
I am looking for a word for someone who takes care of their health and physical well-being. For example, a person who has hobbies could be called a hobbyist. A person who learns is a learner... I am looking for something like that. Any ideas? EDIT: Syntactically I am looking for a word which could fit "that person is a/an [insert word here]".
