When caring for adults in a home healthcare setting, there are also special considerations to make, particularly when it comes to elder care. For example, it is important to be able to empathize with where an older patient is coming from; while they have spent the majority of their life independent, they now have to rely on others. This can be frustrating as they try to slowly navigate their way through tasks that were once fast and easy for them. No one wants to lose their autonomy, and in patients with dementia, this can be particularly difficult due to memory and mood problems. Working with adults in an in-home healthcare setting requires compassion and patience, which are the two qualities we seek most diligently for in our in-home health aides.
Rehabilitative Care
Recovering from an illness or injury can be particularly stressful for older adults. As we age, recuperation becomes more of a lengthy process. Instead of spending weeks in the hospital, your loved one can recover in the comfort of your own home with an in-home health aide. If your loved one then requires a therapist of some kind, we can arrange for them to come to your home, minimizing the amount of time you have to spend taking your loved one from hospital to therapist’s office and back. If you are interested in learning how we can help your loved one stay where they really want to be during their recovery, contact Evergreen Home Healthcare.
