What a difficult time it is when a family or loved one faces lifestyle changes that require a complete revamping of the way a home is run due to health issues. Nightingale’s Nursing & Attendants can help for the set-up of the home by providing holistic care.
Consider a parent or grandparent having a stroke and suddenly they are bed-ridden; too heavy to lift; can’t get up to go to the bathroom; the doctor advises against a long term catheter due to infections, and she can’t swallow well.
Can you imagine where to begin to put the pieces of a peaceful and happy life back together again?
Nightingale’s Nursing & Attendants can help with exercise and strengthening programs, and medication accuracy (multiple doctors and multiple medication adjustments can make this very confusing once you are staring at a basketful of medications).
Medication accuracy with questions such as:
– Where do I apply the cream? How often?
– Where do I apply the powder? How often?
– Where do I apply the Ointment? How often?
– How do I prevent contractures?
– How do I prevent bedsores, falls, and choking?
– How can I help decrease fear and anxiety?
– And many other issues must now be considered.
Working in conjunction with your physician and other health providers, it is essential and important to choose the right long term care provider who can follow through on all the initial plans, working with the health care team to ensure that your loved ones needs are met long term.
We sincerely hope you never need to have to worry about these things, but if you do, we are committed to helping you with a good solid long term plan that will work for you and your loved one. Making your life AND your loved ones life more peaceful and happy can be a challenge in challenging times, Nightingale’s Nursing & Attendants can help.
