How Can We Benefit Your Patients?
Sometimes, healthcare providers dealing with elderly patients are reluctant to talk about home care resources if the patients’ needs are not strictly medical. Even though healthcare providers may notice that these elderly individuals are having a hard time dealing with their day-to-day life or even their health, they still find it hard to discuss a long-term care plan with these patients because they are mostly in denial about what they go through. Providing patients with all options available to deal with their declining health can empower them to make an informed decision. Home care is an ideal option for many individuals and families.
At Divine Favour Healthcare Staffing Inc., our care professionals strive to provide patients and their families with the best option available to them. We begin by discussing the available care and conducting a free in-home assessment to create a personalized care plan tailored to the patients’ needs. The goal is to offer support that the patients need to continue living independently. Services can range from vitals monitoring, meal preparation, and medication reminders, to all forms of assistance with activities of daily living and personal care. We aim to meet and surpass the needs of our clients who require our care.
Many doctors find it hard to discuss the patients’ need to stop driving. This is because many aging individuals consider giving up their car keys one of the hardest things to do. But helping them to be informed of the alternatives available to them can make the transition from them being the driver to a passenger a smooth sailing process. At Divine Favour Healthcare Staffing Inc., we would be happy to assist with any of your patients’ transportation needs. Our staff often receives requests to provide transportation assistance to doctor’s appointments, running errands, and even accompanying our clients to social outings.
When Should You Refer?
Anyone can refer someone for home care services, but healthcare professionals are usually the ones who are knowledgeable enough of the challenges experienced by the patients. Physicians, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, and social workers have the chance to get to know their patients better and can help them with the information and resources available to them. A patient’s case can be different from that of the others, but the questionnaire below can assist you with your assessment of whether home care is the best option for your patient and when to actually refer them to these services.
Through our wide range of support services, Divine Favour Healthcare Staffing Inc. is able to assist patients with many aspects of their care needs. If you think that a patient would benefit from the services we provide, you can reach us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to discuss referrals as we work with you and your patient and provide the distinctively customized support they need.
