Care
Managers
Geriatric Care Managers are experienced professionals who
assist older adults and their families in coping with the challenges
of aging and in the planning of long term care. Care Management
may include:
-
Act as a liaison to long distance caregivers by regularly
communicating their family member's progress or alert them
of any problems.
-
Care planning assessments to identify the problems and needs
that may require assistance.
-
Screen, arrange and monitor all home health, medical, and
other services.
-
Provide consumer education and advocacy.
-
Offer counseling and support.
-
Provide crisis intervention.
-
Assistance with placement in a facility.
The
Care Manager initiates a personalized care plan, specifically
designed to meet the client's wants and needs. They help to reduce
the time, stress and additional costs often involved in caring
for an older adult as they age.
Homemakers
All of the homemakers work for companies that are licensed,
insured, and are put through stringent background checks. A manager
will supervise the aide and the clients care, as required
by law, making changes whenever appropriate. The homemaker will
be able to take care of normal household chores, such as to
preparing meals, light house work, laundry, shopping, errands,
and medication reminders, but cannot assist the client with
any physical or personal care. With a minimum of three or more
hours per day, a homemaker is charged at an hourly rate. The
time spent with your loved one provides not only the household
help needed, but adds the important stimulation through companionship
and activities, along with supervision by a professional.
HHA's / CNA's
All of the home health aides (HHA's) and certified nursing assistants
(CNA's) work for home health care companies that are licensed, insured,
and are put through the most stringent
background checks and training programs. In addition, a personal
care plan is provided at the beginning of care by a registered
nurse, which is carefully followed by the aide. A nurse will
then supervise the aide and the clients care, as required by
law, making changes of whenever appropriate. A nurse is on call
24 hours in the event an emergency.
Hourly: The Aide will be able to prepare meals, do lighthouse
work, shopping, errands, medication reminders, and assist client
with bathing, dressing, and as requested. With a minimum of
four or more hours per day, an aide is charged at an hourly
rate. The time spent with your loved one provides not only the
hands-on care, but adds the important stimulation through activities,
along with supervision by a RN.
Live-In: The Aide lives in the home with the client and
offers extensive support. The Aide will be able to prepare meals,
do lighthouse work, laundry, shopping, errands, medication reminders,
and assist client with bathing, dressing, and as requested.
They are normally requested when the client comes home from
the hospital or rehabilitation and needs more care or when limited
physical ability or dementia create a safety concern. A room,
meals, and sleep time is required for the aide. They normally
work a maximum of 8-10 hours daily.
Visit: A Home Health Aide provides assistance with bathing,
light meal preparation, and dressing and is no longer than a
1-hour visit. Some HHA visits may be provided by Medicare, when
prescribed by a physician, and the client is homebound.
Nurses
Professional nursing services include medication education and
management, diabetes education and management, cardiac/pulmonary
rehabilitation, oncology/infusion therapy, mental health nursing,
HIV and wound care. Some nursing services may be covered by
Medicare, when prescribed by a physician, and the client is
homebound. Remember that you have the right to choose what
agency you use.
Therapists
Therapists may be sent to your home to provide physical, occupational
and/or speech therapy. Some therapy services may be covered
by Medicare, when prescribed by a physician, and the client
is homebound.
Doctor House Calls
This renews the tradition of doctor house calls, enhanced by
the latest medical technology for testing, diagnosis and treatment.
Instead of arriving with the doctor's classic black bag, physicians
and their clinical assistant come to the patient's home with
state-of-the-art mobile technology for examination, diagnosis
and treatment.
The medical staff includes both board certified/eligible physicians
and registered nurse practitioners with extensive backgrounds
in geriatrics and internal medicine. Visits are scheduled Monday
through Saturday, and a staff member is on call 24 hours a day.
