Home care service brings medical care to your house. Nurses visit you. Physical therapists help you move better. You don’t go to the hospital. You stay home and get better. This works great after surgery. It helps with long-term health problems too. Many people heal faster at home than in hospitals.
Why Choose Home Care Service?
Your bed feels better than a hospital bed. You see your family every day. Your pet stays with you. These things help you heal. Home care service costs less money. Hospital stays are expensive. Nursing homes cost a lot too. Getting care at home saves money. You won’t catch infections from other sick people. Hospitals have germs everywhere. Your home is cleaner and safer.
How Home Care Service Works
Your doctor writes orders for your care. A nurse comes to check on you. She gives you medicine. She changes bandages on cuts. Some people need help walking again. A physical therapist visits your house. He teaches you exercises. Your legs get stronger. At Vital Healthcare, we read your doctor’s orders carefully. We send the right person to help you. We make sure you get what you need.
Types of Home Care Service
Nurse Visits
Nurses give shots. They check blood pressure. They clean wounds. Some people have feeding tubes. Nurses take care of these, too.
Physical Therapy
After a broken bone heals, you need to move it again. Physical therapists show you how. They bring equipment to your house. You don’t drive anywhere.
Help with Daily Tasks.
Some people can’t dress themselves after a stroke. Others need help taking a bath. Home health aides do these jobs. They’re trained to help safely.
Speech Therapy
Strokes damage how people talk. Speech therapists visit homes. They teach people to speak clearly again. They help with swallowing problems, too.
Who Gets Home Care Service?
You must be stuck at home to qualify. This means leaving home is hard. Maybe you use a wheelchair. Maybe you get tired walking to the mailbox. Your doctor must say you need skilled care. This means a trained person has to help you. Family members can’t do these medical tasks safely. Medicare pays for home care services if you qualify. You need a doctor’s order first. The care must be medically necessary.
What Home Care Service Doesn’t Do
We don’t clean your house. We don’t cook meals unless it’s part of medical care. Companionship isn’t covered either.If you want someone to talk with, that’s different from medical care. You’ll need to hire that separately.
Benefits of Home Care Service
- You Control Your Day: Wake up when you want. Eat what you like. Watch your favorite TV shows. Hospitals don’t let you do these things.
- Family Stays Close: Your grandkids visit after school. Your spouse sleeps in the same bed. These connections help healing happen faster.
- Less Money Spent: One day in the hospital costs hundreds of dollars. Home care service costs much less. Insurance covers most of it.
- No Hospital Germs: Sick people fill hospitals. Their germs spread easily. At home, you only deal with your germs.
