Patient Support Services
American HomeCare is dedicated to the highest level of
care along the continuum for homebound patients from hospital discharge
to the community in all of our service areas. The American HomeCare staff
of professionals is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All it takes
is one phone call and our expertly trained staff will answer all home
health care questions, arrange for immediate care, and coordinate all
services.
Our staff will ease the transition from hospital to home by tailoring each care plan to the individual patient. Our nurses, after a comprehensive, in-home assessment, will fully explain procedures and medical terminology to patients and their families. American HomeCare's Patient Support System guarantees that written instructions are left in the home to ensure both patient and loved one have a complete understanding of the care that will be provided.
All patients and their families are, of course, encouraged to ask questions and be kept fully included in the recuperation process. We believe that this is the primary key to the successful healing process.
Why Home Care?
My loved one needs help at home, where do I turn?
Choosing long-term care for a loved one may very well be one of the most
agonizing and emotional decisions that we may ever have to make. Today's
options include adult homes, senior living facilities, nursing homes,
and home health care.
Dignity and Privacy
Home care allows individuals to stay in the comfort and privacy of their
own home. The majority of seniors today prefer the dignity and security
their own home provides.
Independence
Loved one remains independent, which is sometimes lost in institutional
settings. Patient and family are involved in every step of the care planning
and care giving process.
You and your parents
Most of us avoid thinking about the possibility that someday one or both
of our parents won't be self-sufficient. As a result, most families are
unprepared to handle their parents' increased dependency. Here are some
ways to help you plan for the part you might play as your parents age.
Talk with your parents
The best approach is to talk with your parents and discuss "what
ifs" before a crisis develops. For example, ask your parents what
their wishes would be if they could no longer live at home. Explore options
and devise alternate plans. Circumstances at the time of crisis may require
flexibility. Alternate plans can provide some insurance against making
unsatisfactory decisions you'll regret later.
