How to choose the right help for your situation
When you need help for a loved one, it is important to choose the right kind of service. There are many bonded and insured home care agencies who have caregivers and companions, but very few who have skilled nursing care.
These home caregivers are paid to come in and make sure your loved one takes his/her medicines, eats, stays clean and has companionship. What they are not trained or licensed to do is to recognize medical issues, take vital signs, and communicate whether a doctor visit is necessary to avoid emergency situations.
When you are seeking home health care, make sure a professional medical evaluation is done to determine the level of care needed. Patients with diseases such as Parkinson’s, Diabetes, Heart Disease, COPD, dementia, and other critical care issues probably need true medical care. Take the time to be certain the caregiving agency you choose provides the right service for your needs.
