A chronic medical condition or disease is a health condition that requires continuous medical attention and can last for more than a year. Managing a chronic condition can be challenging for all parties involved, and it can get pretty expensive too.
That’s why, at Eliteservices Homecare, we are determined to help ease the physical, emotional, and financial burden for seniors and other individuals with chronic conditions through various ways, including:
- Providing a compassionate, reliable, and cost-effective way to manage their conditions right from the comfort of their homes.
- Helping them minimize or avoid hospital readmissions by reducing common risk factors, including medication mismanagement, poor nutrition, loneliness, falls, and other home accidents.
- Supporting their emotional health through companionship and genuine friendship.
- Enhancing their personal hygiene and promoting a healthy living environment for them.
- Ensuring they follow up regularly with their medical appointments by providing reliable non-medical transportation.
Individualized Specialty Care for Individual Needs:
When it comes to specialty care for chronic illnesses and disabilities, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution at Eliteservices Homecare, even for patients with the same illness or condition. This is because, while they may have the same condition, their symptoms or stage of illness are rarely the same.
A highly-individualized plan is, therefore, highly recommended for each individual.
Here are some of the services that come with specialty care for different chronic diseases and disabilities:
- Meal planning and preparation based on dietary restrictions and recommendations.
- Ensuring that a client has taken their medications according to a given schedule (medication reminders) and observing and reporting any side effects.
- Observing the client’s general condition and calling for medical assistance when critical symptoms are observed.
- Encouraging the client to perform simple and safe exercises, such as walking, as per the recommendations of their health care providers.
- Picking up prescriptions and medications on their behalf.
- Maintaining a safe environment for the client.
- Keeping track of their medical appointments and transporting/accompanying them to those appointments
