Why Need Skilled nursing Care at Home after Hospitalization?

Getting discharged from the hospital is a good sign that the patient is getting better. However, this is just a transition to another “level of care” especially for some who need long-term medication. Below are three (3) major reasons why you need skilled nursing care at home after being hospitalized:

Post-Healthcare Assistance

Unlike in the hospital, it is often difficult to monitor the patient’s recuperation status once they are already at home especially during the weekdays when people are usually on the rush to work. You have the choice to ask a relative or a guardian to take care of the patient but it does not equate to professional care nor guarantee the primary goal—full recovery. For senior patients, nursing homes come into mind but with respect to them, some feel they have abandoned their parents once they have placed them in nursing homes.
    
Hence, with a skilled nurse around at home, this assures that the patient will be given proper medication treatment and management, vital signs monitoring, regular physical therapy, trouble-free wound treatment or injections. Home health care providers in New York such as All Care Home Health Services (http://www.allcarehc.com/) provide this kind service.

Interactive Purposes

In the recovery process, the nursing staff can give and keep a good company to the in-house patient. With the family members off to work, patients may feel uncomfortable being alone and helpless which may lead to depression or in worst case scenarios, hospital readmission. However, from simple and friendly conversations to recreational activities (especially for people with disabilities or facing challenges with old age) appropriate to the patient’s needs, it can be of helpful influence to the patient’s physical, psychological and emotional health.

Personal Guide For The Family and the Patient

Personal necessities of the patient like bathing, eating, dressing, toileting, transfer (from wheelchair to bed), transportation, etc. can be assisted by the family members but some may be afraid that they might do it wrong. Family members can ask some advice on how to administer these and make informed decisions and choices on other care regimens and even lifestyle options.

All you need to do now is choose the right home health care service providerbut that’s another story to tell. Everybody deserves good health and every choice counts.
