Life is busy. Between juggling work, family, friends, and a little extra time to yourself, it’s challenging to devote enough time and energy to all aspects of your life. It often feels like there aren’t enough days in a week, let alone hours in a day.
It’s particularly challenging when there is a Senior in your family or circle of friends who require 24-hour attention, and you’re simply unable to be there for them, even when you desperately wish you could.
Consider the benefits of home health care services and in-home personal support. With a Personal Support Worker (PSW) and an in-home caregiving team from a professional Senior health care service, you can rest assured that your loved one will be well cared for.
It’s a safe and affordable choice that supports the entire family, and your loved one won’t have to leave the familiar comforts and safety of their home and community.
Health Care Professionals Are There When You Aren’t Able to Be
If you’re caregiving from a distance or are simply feeling overwhelmed by the hectic challenges of life, you’re likely unable to commit 24-hours a day to providing support to your friend or family member. Additionally, you may not possess the proper, certified medical training that a Personal Support Worker (PSW) or Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) does.
With in-home health care, you can have some peace of mind. RPNs, PSWs, and Caregivers are highly trained professionals and they understand the vulnerability of Senior clients. They exhibit compassion and empathy in everything they do, and your loved one will feel safe and appreciated.
Access to Skilled Medical Care Right at Home
Skilled medical care found in hospitals and nursing homes is brought to patients directly with home health care. Thoroughly supervised, certified and licensed nurses and bring their expertise as well as any required high-technology medical equipment anywhere patients call home.
Transporting to-and-from medical appointments can be challenging when mobility issues, chronic disease, or fragile mental health are a concern.
Home health care eliminates these stresses because your loved one won’t even have to step outside their front door. Health care comes to them!
Access to a Healthy Diet and Supported Nutrition
Is your loved one getting enough vitamins and nutrients they need to stay healthy? With home health care, you won’t have to worry about that anymore because Caregivers make their patients’ health and wellbeing a number one priority.
Adults who are 65 years and older, those with chronic conditions, and people who have recently been discharged from a hospital or a nursing facility are likely to be nutritionally at-risk.
Bed rest, illness, and aging can all contribute to the loss of lean body mass. A home health care team can provide nutritional counseling and home-cooked meals to help combat malnutrition.
Access to Assisted Medication Management
If your loved one is required to take multiple medications, it can be confusing to manage. It can be even more complicated for someone diagnosed with Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease to remember which pills to take at different hours of the day.
Home health care professionals will ensure the right medications are taken at the right time and will be able to control health conditions and prevent accidents from happening.
You don’t have to worry any longer about your friend or family member. Let your loved one age gracefully in the comfort of their own home.
