Seniors and older adults who are unable to visit their doctor owing to a medical problem or busy schedule can choose home health care services. Patients opting for home health care receive medical care in the comfort of their homes.
What is Home Health Care Services?
Inspiration Hospice helps seniors stay independent for as long as possible.
We offer affordable home care services to seniors for a wide range of needs. We understand there is no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we focus on providing customized home health care services to seniors. We aim at improving the quality of life and promoting overall health.
Home health care services offer a wide range of services to the patient in the comfort of their home. Home health care is often more convenient, affordable, and just as effective as the care you receive at nursing homes.
Different Types of Home Care
There is a range of home health care services a patient can receive in the comfort of his home. Depending on the patient’s needs and medical situation, home care services can range from specialized medical services to nursing care and more.
At-home care services may include but are not limited to:
-
Doctor’s Care
A doctor visits the patient’s home to diagnose and treat the medical condition. The doctor further periodically review the patient’s condition and health care needs.
-
Nursing Care
The most common form of home health care services includes nursing care. In consultation with the doctor, a registered nurse set up a plan of care for the patient. This care plan includes administering medication, intravenous therapy, wound dressing, monitoring the general health of the patient, ostomy care and pain control.
-
Occupational, Speech, or Physical Therapy
Some patients need help to relearn the basics of everyday life such as how to use their arms and legs, how to perform daily duties, or relearn how to speak again.
A physical therapist can help a patient to regain his strength in muscles and joints.
An occupational therapist helps the patient with physical, social, emotional, and developmental disabilities to relearn and perform activities of daily living.
A speech therapist helps a patient regain the ability to communicate clearly.
-
Care From Home Health Aides
Home health aides help a patient with his basic personal needs such as walking, bathing, getting out of the bed, dressing and more.
-
Companionship and Volunteer Care
Some patients who live alone may feel isolated and need a companion to comfort them. We have volunteers who can provide basic comfort to the patient through companionship, emotional support, provide transportation, and more.
