In-Home Nursing Care For Your Elderly Loved One

When it comes to your family members, you want to make sure they are safe and in the best health possible. This can be particularly hard to do with elderly loved ones because you may not live nearby or they may be incredibly obstinate when it comes to their independence. When this is the case, they likely will be resistant to going to a nursing home. The good news is, just because your elderly loved one is getting older or is facing health issues does not mean they are forced to go to a nursing home. This is not their only option. The team at Expicare Nursing understands that this can be a stressful time for you and your family, and we are here to help you learn the best ways to take care of your loved one.

What In-Home Nursing Care Offers

Unlike traditional nursing homes, in-home nursing care can offer your elderly loved one many opportunities that they would likely not receive if they were in a facility. Many elderly loved ones have problems with their physical health but do not find their mental health fading. This can make it incredibly difficult for them to give up their independence. In some cases, in-home care may be the best option if your loved one is not suffering from health issues, but when they are, you want the help of a nursing team you can trust and that your loved one can rely on.

When you choose Expicare for hourly care, you are giving your loved one the chance to remain as independent as possible. When many people consider how they want to take care of their family, they think they don’t have any other options except a nursing home facility. However, by doing this, your loved one may begin to feel their rights are taken away from them and this can cause them to shut down even more. By allowing them to have their independence and remain at home, they may even have a better chance of healing.

Providing Undivided Attention

When it comes to facilities, your loved one will likely be another resident that must share a nurse’s attention every single day. When this is the case, the nurse may be rushing around to different residents and may not give your loved one the care and attention they deserve. On the other hand, when you choose to go with us, we come to your loved one and provide them with the attention they need, ensuring their charts are correct and up-to-date and that we are aware of any new problems that may be developing.

Environmental Familiarity

Especially for patients who may be suffering from Dementia, familiarity can be key in ensuring they are comfortable and that they continue to remember things. When they are in a facility that is not familiar to them, this can cause them undue stress and it can even make them scared. By bringing in an hourly in-home nurse, they can get the medical care they need while in the comfort of their own home.

When you choose our car team, you know your loved one can get the time and attention they need, along with the respect that they deserve. Please reach out to our office today to learn more about how Expicare Nursing can benefit your cherished senior relative.
