What is skilled nursing care at home and its types

Skilled nursing at home is essential care in all aspects of life from domestic to medical, provided by a professional with knowledge and experience without losing quality of life, home environment, close relatives, happiness and safety.

Situations for this kind of help are different. It could be advanced age, illness, surgery, or incapacity. For each of them, the company offers an individual approach and services that are specially adapted to the individual needs of the patient, so that he feels comfort and safety. This may include a walk in the fresh air, the buying of groceries, help with household chores, cleaning, hygiene, preparing meals, the strict fulfillment of all doctor’s recommendations, and simple communication.

Home care by a professional can help families deal with serious illnesses without having to leave work or stop close contact with a sick relative, and the elderly person does not change his place of residence and stays in a comfortable, familiar environment and safety.

Professional assistance is required in different modes. These may be short-term visits, care during the workday or weekend, or round-the-clock. It is commonly classified into two types:

• Skilled nursing care is a care service provided by a nurse, physical therapist, speech therapist or social worker. As a rule, treating doctors prescribe medical care if there is an acute medical need.
• Personal care – often provided by caregivers, nurses, and home care workers.
• Non-medical care – these services are mostly provided by companions and housekeepers. Their responsibilities include cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, and cooking.

These services provided at home make the life of a sick or elderly person’s relatives much easier, give an opportunity to work to the full extent and not to lose close contact with him as well as to be sure that the relative is safe and all medical recommendations will be strictly followed.
