Personal Care

 

Personal Care is one of the main services in the Home Health Care industry. It includes assistance with everyday activities to help the ones in need and make the elderly life peaceful. Personal care services are related to assistance with dressing, hygiene, and incontinence services.

Medication Management

 

The management of patient's medications prescribed by the physician and when taken correctly as prescribed, supports the healing of the patient. Knowledge of the patient's medication and medication regimen at home provides a key element to the physician's care of the patient. Licensed visiting staff may administer prescribed medicines as ordered by the physician while moving towards the goal of the patient achieving safe self-administration.

Meal preparation

 

As your loved ones in need gain age, they may lose interest in food. Mealtime without a family is usually lonely. If your parent has a reduced sense of taste or smell, food may seem less appetizing. Medications can take a toll on appetite too. For aging parents with physical or mental impairments, difficulties with grocery shopping and preparing meals may be obstacles to good nutrition. Even when seniors do eat well, they may not fully absorb all their nutrients.

We realize that everyone’s requirements are different and constantly evolving, therefore our services are tailored to meet the needs and interests of our individual clients. Our in-home therapy services are designed to improve both patients and their families’ capacity to be successful in every aspect of their lives.

Infant care specialist

 

An Infant Care Specialist (also known as a "Baby Nurse") is someone who is the specialist in newborn care.
Infant Care Specialists assist parents within the first few weeks or months of baby's life with parent education, feeding/breastfeeding, basic baby care and light baby-related housekeeping.
An infant Care Specialist is an individual trained and skilled in newborn care. The caregiver provides unique expertise in all aspects of newborn care, parental education and support.
