Silver Spring Private Duty Nursing or Nursing Home?

Above all else, a private home care nursing assistant or nurse enables your relative to get the help with daily tasks that they require, from the convenience of their house. This care is provided in private, so your relative has the utmost flexibility with the scheduling of their daily tasks. This is better than having to adhere to a facility's strict timetable. If you opt to have breakfast at midday, no worries, or if you wish to go to bed late because of a TV show, that's fine. If you require assistance using the bathroom, your helper is on hand. You don't have to wait for the caregiver to help any other residents. Private homecare removes the stress of the unfamiliar, and permits you to live in a setting that closely resembles the independence we all want.

An Improved Situation for Continuous Care

In addition, homecare produces an environment that is more conducive to continuous care. Usually, your home care is delivered by two aides. This eases anxiety and allows your relative to get to know their nurses. It makes them less stressed to regularly work with caregivers they already know. Seeing familiar faces daily is important if your relative has dementia. Continuous care establishes a vital social connection that is frequently missing from an older person's life. It's a link to the local community that makes them feel less isolated.

Organizing homecare doesn't have to be hard. Simply telephoning our office will kickstart the whole process. You will be asked some straightforward questions about birth date, contact information, address, and medical conditions. Then, we will customize the care to your specific requirements. Typically, a care plan has been devised by a social worker, doctor, or another medical professional already. Should this not be the case, a member of the family normally knows what we could do to help them. Also, if a care plan is required, we could arrange to devise one for our nurses to use.

Receive Comprehensive Care and Companionship with Private Duty

In-home private duty care can offer everything, from help with daily tasks to companionship. They can help with GP appointments, shopping, medication collection, personal hygiene, meal preparation and planning, bathing, dressing, laundry, and household chores. Further services they might offer include ambulation assistance, transfers from lying to sitting positions and help with standing. The aim of the caregiver is to allow our clients to stay as confident and independent as possible.

Moreover, getting homecare can make your relative less exposed to contagious diseases, which are increasingly common in community care environments. Because private duty nurses solely focus on your relative, the caregiver gains an in-depth understanding of their needs so that they can relay any changes to their condition to the doctor/family much faster. Allowing your relative to be treated for a mild respiratory condition, before it develops into pneumonia, is one example of how our team can protect their wellbeing.
