Types of Home Healthcare Services:
Patients can choose from an endless array of in-home healthcare options. Care might include everything from nursing care to specialized medical treatments, such as laboratory workups, depending on the circumstances of each patient. Your treatment plan and any at-home assistance you may require will be decided upon by you and your physician. Services for in-home care may comprise:
· Doctor care
A doctor may visit a patient at home to diagnose and treat their disease or illnesses. He or she may also evaluate the necessity for home health care periodically.
· Nursing care
Depending on the patient’s needs, nursing care is the most common type of home health care. The doctor and a registered nurse will work together to develop a treatment plan. Wound dressing, ostomy care, intravenous therapy, drug administration, patient monitoring, pain management, and other health assistance are examples of nursing care.
· Physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy
Some persons may need help relearning daily duties or regaining control over their voice after an illness or injury. A physical therapist can help a patient strengthen or recover the function of their joints and muscles by developing a therapy plan.
A patient with physical, developmental, social, or emotional problems can benefit from the assistance of an occupational therapist in relearning everyday tasks like eating, dressing, taking a shower, and more. With the assistance of a speech therapist, a patient with a speech impediment can regain clear communication abilities.
· Medical social services
Medical social workers provide a variety of services to their patients, including counseling and help finding local resources to support the patient’s recovery. When a patient’s medical condition is complex and calls for the coordination of multiple services, some social workers also serve as the patient’s case manager.
· Care from home health aides
A home health aide can assist a patient with daily living activities like dressing, bathing, getting out of bed, and walking. With the guidance of a nurse, several assistants have undergone specialised training to help with more specialised care.
· Homemaker or basic assistance care
A patient receiving medical treatment at home might have the household taken care of by a homemaker, or someone who helps with duties. This covers food shopping, washing, dinner preparation, and other housekeeping duties.
· Companionship
When they are at home alone, some patients might require a companion to provide comfort and monitoring. Some friends might also help out around the house.
· Volunteer care
Community organization volunteers can offer a patient basic comforts including emotional support, personal care assistance, companionship, transportation, and/or paperwork assistance.
· Nutritional support
Dietitians may visit patients in their homes to analyse and propose a diet in order to support the treatment plan.
· Laboratory and X-ray imaging
Blood and urine tests are two examples of laboratory tests that can be completed at the convenience of the patient’s own home. Additionally, because of portable X-ray machines, lab staff may do this task at home.
· Pharmaceutical services
Medication and medical supplies might be delivered to homes. If required, instruction on medication administration and equipment use, including intravenous therapy, can be given to the patient.
