You Can Thrive At Home With Personalized, Compassionate Care
Injury, illness, surgery, and chronic conditions are difficult for anyone to handle. But if you’re unable to leave the house without assistance, or if your medical condition prevents you from leaving the house at all, getting care may feel like another steep hill to climb.
Home healthcare services make it easier. During your visits from a home healthcare nurse, you’ll feel cared for, understood, educated, and empowered. You’ll be less dependent on appointments and better equipped to care for yourself.
Here are four important ways that home health care supports your independence:
- You get to choose home as your ideal place to receive care.
- Your care is personalized for your needs.
- Your team will provide encouragement along the way.
- Empowerment and education are part of your care.
Home Health Care, Right At Your Door
If you’re a homebound patient who can only leave the house with help from another person or a device like a wheelchair or walker, going to outpatient clinics to receive skilled care can be exhausting.
The trip itself may be difficult for you, and you may feel even more overwhelmed than if you hadn’t gone at all. You also may have multiple appointments, making the process of receiving care outside the home even more challenging.
A home health care team, under the supervision of an RN case manager, can provide the care you need without having to leave the comfort of home. You can receive all the benefits of care in an outpatient clinic in the place where you heal best.
Get One-on-One Care From a Home Healthcare Professional
It’s likely that home health care exceeds the care you can get outside your home. When a home healthcare nurse or therapist visits your home, you have their undivided attention. The services you receive are completely tailored to you.
Your team won’t feel hurried to visit the patient in the room next door because you’re not in an office setting. You may even feel more comfortable asking questions because they’re visiting you without the distractions and anxiety that sometimes come with visiting a medical office.
You deserve individualized and focused care, and not only if you’re a senior. Home health care is available to all adults who qualify as homebound and receive a medical professional’s order for skilled care from a nurse or a physical, speech, or occupational therapist.
Home Health Care Inspires Confidence
Your home healthcare nurse or your skilled therapist is someone you can count on. Your team will visit regularly to ensure you’re receiving care after your surgery, an exacerbation of your medical condition, a medication change, a new diagnosis, or for whatever reason your doctor orders skilled care for you at home.
Your nurse and other team members will track the progress of your condition and offer encouragement and emotional support along the way. During your home healthcare services, you’ll find that your nursing team is on your side, doing everything they can to ensure you feel as well as possible. You won’t feel alone on your healthcare journey. Instead, you’ll find that encouragement motivates you to learn about managing your condition.
Home Health Care Is About Education
Home health care also provides education and fosters independence. Whether you are learning how to monitor your blood sugar and give yourself insulin or doing physical therapy exercises to strengthen your body, you can take control of your treatment.
Individualized visits from a home health care team make it easy to learn more about how to take care of your health. You will be able to watch and learn, and your nurse and skilled therapists will give you opportunities to care for yourself when you aren’t receiving visits. The next time they visit, you will feel proud to report what you’ve done to keep up the momentum.
