Reasons to Consider Home Health Care, In-Home Care Services San Diego

Tuesday, July 31st, 2018

Millions of people juggle full time work with raising children, attending to the home and in some cases, caring for a loved one who may be aging, injured or disabled. Managing all of these responsibilities at once is difficult. Luckily, there is a solution.

Here are three reasons to consider in home health care.

Attentive, Responsive Care - A professional in-home nursing service can visit the home when you need them, even part time. A few hours here or there is peace of mind that your loved one receives attentive, responsive care when you are unable to be there.

A Well Deserved Break - When someone you love needs something, you’re happy to be there. But taking a break, even to rest, is a healthy necessity. With a skilled nurse available, the time you spend with your loved one is happier and more productive.

Skilled Medical Expertise - Family members play an important role in keeping loved ones happy and healthy. But, it’s difficult to handle complex medications. A skilled nurse has years of training in exactly these situations, giving confidence that your loved one is in good hands.

Firstat Nursing Services has been providing a higher standard of home nursing, home health and home care services for elderly, disabled and injured people in the greater San Diego area since 1997.

Benefits of Home Health Services, Caregivers Del Mar

Friday, June 29th, 2018

It can be difficult to watch an aging loved one lose mental or physical abilities. Often, staying independent in the home they love requires personalized care. Skilled nursing services can help.

Here are three benefits of using home health care services to assist an aging loved one.

Medical Expertise On Demand – Seniors often have specific treatment plans, requiring that they take several different pills or administer injections. Skilled nursing services can supervise, even organize the process, ensuring mom or dad takes their medication properly and at the right time.

Help with Cleaning and Cooking – A professional home care agency can help with cooking, cleaning and other challenging activities. Loved ones can stay independent at home without family worrying about how they’re getting along during the day.

Confidence and Peace of Mind – When an aging parent or loved one shows signs of needing help, family members are often unsure how to meet their needs. In-home help eliminates stress by understanding the situation, and meeting needs, even as they change.

Del Mar Caregivers, Senior Care Agency Supports Effective Communication Month

Friday, June 29th, 2018

Firstat Nursing Services, a Del Mar Home Caregiver Agency supports seniors by publishing “Tips for Communicating with Senior Loved Ones.”

Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services says, “Talking and listening to senior members of the family allows them to feel connected. It also helps validate their feelings, concerns and ideas.”

Here are three ways to create more effective communication with senior loved ones in the family.

Ask Questions to Learn More About Elderly Loved Ones – People are often amazed about the kinds of information that seniors share with their Del Mar Caregivers. Too often, young children, and even adult children of senior citizens, forget that the elderly people in their lives were once young, active and vital. 

Seniors had lives and experiences that younger members of the family may have only read about. Talking to a home health provider who is engaged with seniors on a daily basis can add extra insight as to what the elderly member of the family likes to talk about and what they don’t. 

Get Added Help to Keep Seniors Mentally Active – Having a health care provider bridge the gap between distant relatives or family members can help the senior remain mentally and socially active. A health care provider has the skills to understand what elderly clients have lived through. They can also help the senior get out and talk with community members, friends and local relatives in a safe and peaceful environment.

Be Patient with Senior Loved Ones – Old age does not mean elderly loved ones in the family do not have much to offer. It is often the case that it may take them a little longer to express what they have to say. Empathize with them, and take a moment to consider how physical limitations may make it more difficult to participate. 

Don’t leave elderly family members out of family activities whenever possible. Including them as part of a team is a big part of healthy communication, and making them feel like they are valuable members of the family. When family members are uncertain about how a senior will be able to handle certain gatherings or conversations, it can be helpful to speak with their health care nurse. Speaking with a professional caregiver can provide insight into how they might handle situations or get-togethers.

Support Seniors With In Home Care, Caregivers Coronado

Friday, June 1st, 2018

Attending to an aging or sick loved one can be rewarding. But with medical responsibilities, being a family caregiver can be stressful, tiresome and complicated.

Here’s how to support a family caregiver with the help and expertise they deserve through a professional in home care agency.

Promote Better Quality of Life
A visiting nurse can chaperone a loved one to an event or provide transportation to and from events. Having a professional on hand takes pressure off family and ensures loved ones receive age appropriate socialization.

Reduce Medical Risks With Skilled Experts on Hand
Family members often cannot provide the level of expertise of a skilled nurse. With years of experience and hands-on training, an in home professional provides top of the line care, reducing risk of medical issues from mishandling or error.

Provide a Much Needed Break
Even the most dedicated family members need a break, and a skilled professional can provide it. A few hours here or there is enough to give caregivers the chance to reenergize and rejuvenate a tired body and mind.

How Professional In Home Care Promotes Safe Independence for Seniors, Affordable Coronado Home Care Agency

Friday, June 1st, 2018

Few seniors are willing to move to an assisted living facility when staying at home becomes challenging and this can cause stress for family members. Luckily, at home care is a convenient solution, giving aging loved ones the help they need to thrive on their own.

Here’s how professional in home care promotes safe independence.

Medical Expertise at Home
Most seniors rely on a variety of medications to stay healthy and strong. With a skilled nurse on call, loved ones have peace of mind that mom or dad will take their medication as directed – the right dose at the right time – and with an experienced hand to help.

Housekeeping, Errands and Meal Prep
The right professional in home care agency offers more than medical assistance, but can also help with a variety of domestic duties. Vacuuming, laundry and meal prep is a help to busy children looking to ensure a parent has what they need.

Transportation to and From Appointments
With regular doctor’s appointments and other commitments, seniors need safe, reliable transportation – something family can’t always provide. At home care is a smart, practical way to make sure appointments are kept and loved ones have a safe ride.
