Recovery in the Comfort of Their Home
Whether a loved one is recovering from surgery or requires assistance for chronic impairments, home health care can help.
Growing older brings increasing challenges with safely living independently, which can cause many older individuals to consider moving to an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. However, many resist this move because they wish to remain in the place where they are most comfortable: their home. Our homes are where we can relax and recharge while enjoying the years of memories surrounding us, so it’s easy to understand why many seniors do not want to leave their sanctuary.
For seniors who need extra assistance but want to remain in their homes, Suncrest offers home health care services that can be matched to their needs.
Skilled Nursing
Registered nurses regularly visit the patient in their home to monitor their health, manage medications, change dressings, and perform other important medical tasks.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapists help patients with rehabilitation exercises as they recover from an illness or injury. They also make chronic conditions such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s disease more manageable.)
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists teach patients techniques that help them accomplish activities of daily living by themselves or with assistance.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapists aid patients with difficulty communicating, whether because of dental concerns, a stroke, a neurological disorder, or other issues. They can also help those with swallowing disorders.
Social Work
Social workers help to create a patient’s care plan by working with RNs. The care plan includes the type of assistance needed and for how many hours each week.
Home Health Care
The forefront of home health care lies with home health aides, who help carry out the doctors’ and nurses’ instructions while also performing many tasks around the patient’s home that allow them to be safe and happy.
Eligibility
Patients are eligible for home health services if they meet the following criteria:
- Home-bound
- Require rehabilitative services
- Have an order from a physician
To be classified as home-bound, the patient will rarely leave home due to their medical symptoms, and they require assistance whenever they do leave their home.
Home Health Care Services
Suncrest’s home health care services begin with a visit from a registered nurse, who comes to the home to assess the patient and their needs. Working with the patient and their family, the RN develops a care plan and identifies treatment goals that are carried out by a team fully dedicated to the patient’s well-being.
Not only does home health care keep loved ones in their home for as long as possible, but these services are also highly convenient. Receiving in-home physical, occupational, and speech therapy for patients that struggle to go places on their own saves everyone hours of time and preparation.
Having a regular schedule of rehabilitative services for patients recovering from surgeries, procedures, or illnesses can significantly improve their progress and quality of life. Patients can also take on a greater role in their recovery with the assistance of proper pain management that improves comfort levels, outlook, and motivation.
