3 primary benefits of hiring personal home care services
by Health Now Health Care ServicesHome
care refers to the health care or support provided to the patients in the
comfort of their own homes. It is the term that is generally used for
non-medical or custodian care. These services are like a blessing for those who
are recovering from surgery, illness, senior citizens or people with
disabilities. The care provided by professional healthcare workers is naturally
more effective than what the family members or friends can provide. Home care
services are also seen as a more cost effective option than hospital or nursing
home care. These services can be availed 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
However, there are other option also such as seeking services on a shift,
part-time, hourly, or on as needed basis.
Home
care makes it possible for the patients to remain in their home environment
where they feel comfortable the most instead of staying in the hospital for
long term. It allows them to be surrounded by their loved ones and gives them a
feeling of living a normal life. Home care includes a variety of services and
you can choose the type and frequency of assistance required by your loved one.
It can basically include professional health care services or life assistance
services or a combination of both. The first one refers to services such as
physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychological
assessment, medication supervision, pain management, wound care and disease
education and management. But more often, home care involves assistance with
activities of daily living.
Benefits
that home care services provide patients are mentioned below:
#1 Less
stressful
Staying
in a completely new environment is tough and especially when someone is
suffering from an illness or is in the old age, it is considerably more
difficult. The healing process seems less stressful for the patients when they
receive care in the comforts of their own home. It allows them to be surrounded
by their possessions and memories which can be really comforting during the
difficult times.
#2 Allows
to be surrounded by friends and family
When
a person is suffering from an illness or life limiting condition, staying close
to friends and family can be very comforting. Seeing these familiar faces on a
regular basis can provide a boost to someone who is ill. Home care services
enable close ones to continue visiting on a regular basis and at any time of
the day. On the other hand, hospitals or nursing homes have set visiting hours and
visiting the patient any time of the day isn't possible.
#3 Provide physical and emotional
healing both
Studies have
proved that most of the patients suffer from depression or loneliness because
of staying or spending a lot of time alone. Professional caregivers can help
the patients overcome not only the physical but the emotional conditions as
well. In case of 24hr assistance, they can have rotational shift timings also.
