Firstat Nursing Services, a caregiver agency serving Chula Vista publishes homecare guide, What to Expect from In-Home Skilled Nursing Care
“It’s common knowledge that seniors age better in their own homes, and no one wants to put mom or dad in a nursing home if they don’t want to go. Luckily, in-home skilled nursing care can help,” says Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. Families with aging loved ones face difficult choices every day as it relates to day-to-day care.
Here are three benefits, and what to expect from a professional nursing service.
Compassionate, Friendly Care – A Qualified nurse who visits the home should be medically certified, trained and skilled for sure. But they should also be friendly and warm. When a professional caregiver does their job right, they build a relationship with your loved one. In fact, seniors often look forward to spending time with a great caregiver, sharing stories, laughing and feeding their need for socialization.
Senior Independence in a Safe Environment – Skilled nursing services can also help aging seniors learn to more effectively navigate the home, ensuring safety. In some cases, they can provide transportation to doctor’s appointments, grocery stores and social events too. Over time, regular visits from a skilled in-home nurse can help build senior independence, giving busy family members the chance to take a break from providing full time care.
On-Demand Medical Expertise – There are many different levels of in-home care, making it easy to customize a care plan that works best. Know that qualified agencies offer a full range of options, from part time help to full time assisted care. Whether you need daily medical expertise or just a helping hand on occasion, the option of on-demand medical attention is invaluable.
