Personalized High Quality Skilled Home Care Nursing from First Response Healthcare

Studies have shown that home care enables a patient to recover faster because they are in the comfort of their own home and are surrounded by loved ones or family at home.

Here are some of the benefits of personalized home care assistance:

1. Less Prone To Infections

At hospitals, the chances of catching an infection are way higher since one is surrounded by numerous other patients. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is also the constant worry and fear of contracting the virus and falling sick after being exposed to other patients at medical facilities. With home nursing, you can avoid all these risks and can receive the best possible care at home itself.

2. More Cost Effective

Skilled home care nursing service is way more cost effective than in-hospital care. If a patient requires long term care, keeping him or her in the hospital for too long or visiting the hospital too often may not be the best idea. Home nursing ensures that you receive the same standard of services as a hospital, at a cost lower than that of a hospital. Home nursing services also save travel costs since family members no longer need to take multiple trips to and from the hospital.

3. Nursing Facilities In Their Own Home

Home nursing allows the patient to stay in their own home, surrounded by family and loved ones. Staying in the hospital for too long can take a toll on the mental and emotional health of the patient which may also have an effect on their physical recovery. Skilled home nursing care ensures that the patient is in their own home where they feel most comfortable. This can also act as a relief for family members and loved ones.

4. Support In Everyday Tasks & Activities

Home Nursing professionals can provide help and support in activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, cooking, cleaning, household chores of doing laundry, buying groceries, etc. This kind of assistance can prove to be very useful for patients who are very elderly or on bed rest. Home nursing support through these daily tasks and chores can improve the quality of life of patients.

5. Medication Administration & Management

A patient might be required to take several medications for recovery or to maintain their health. Often it can be difficult to keep a track of all these medicines and their doses to ensure that none of them are missed or taken more than required. Nursing professionals are trained to manage prescriptions and they can ensure that patients take the right medicines at the right time.
