Home Health Services
Whether you are dealing with a chronic illness or recovering from surgery or injury, home health services can provide the support and assistance you need in order to remain safe and healthy in your own home. Home health care helps patients maintain their independence while still receiving necessary medical attention. It can be especially beneficial for elderly people who may not have the ability to travel long distances or attend regular doctor appointments. By receiving healthcare in the comfort of their own homes, patients can maintain their independence and become more active in their own care.
The right caregiver can make a tremendous difference in an elderly person’s life, providing them with companionship, support and security. In addition to helping senior citizens remain independent, in-home elderly care can also provide peace of mind for their family members. Knowing that a professional is providing the care and support they need can give families greater assurance. In-home health aides provide a variety of services to those living at home who are unable to care for themselves due to old age, disability or illness. These services include help with personal care assistance such as bathing and grooming, meal preparation, errand-running and light housekeeping. In some cases, they may also provide nursing care under the direction of a doctor or nurse. Individuals in this field are typically certified nursing assistants (CNAs) or home health aides (HHAs).
Nurses are trained to recognize and address medical needs as well as provide emotional support. In addition to providing direct patient care, home health LVNs and RNs can also be involved in developing plans of care; administering medication; monitoring vital signs; and reporting changes in a patient’s condition back to the physician or other healthcare professionals. Home Health offers many services and additional help in your home such as, IV therapy, injections, skilled nursing, therapy, wound care treatment, vital sign monitoring and monthly medical supplies if needed.
