Is Home Health Care the Right Treatment Option For for You?

In the world of healthcare and recovery, there are so many treatment options to choose from — you even have the option to choose no treatment! With so many options, how do you know which one is right for you? At Angels On-Call Homecare, we believe that home is the best place for anyone to be, and if we can treat you in the comfort of your own home, we will! While we know the choice is not ours to make for you, we want to help make the choice a little easier. Here is a short list of some of the reasons you may consider home health care as the optimal treatment option.

Fall or Near Fall

If you have fallen recently or had a near-fall incident, even if you did not suffer an injury, you may benefit from some home health care to help you identify the fall risks in your home and the risk factors that may contribute to you falling.

Wound Care Treatment

If you have developed or been treated for a wound, whether it is a pressure sore, surgical wound, or diabetic foot wound, home health care nurses can provide wound care treatment in your home. That means that your treatment team would come to you to help you heal and monitor for infection or complications.

Change in Medical Status

Home health care can be a temporary option to help with the recovery process of a specific illness or injury, or can be long-term to help with end of life. If you have had a recent change in medical status, you may benefit from the extra care a home health care team can provide.

Intravenous Therapy or Injections

If you have an intravenous catheter or port in place and require regular therapy through it or you require injections to manage your illness or disease, you may consider home health care so that your health care team can come to you for treatment, rather than you going to a clinic for each dosing.

Serious or Unstable Health Conditions

For new or chronic diagnosis for serious or unstable health conditions, home health care can help you manage and treat your condition while educating you on how to manage it and live as normal a life as possible. Home health care professionals can provide you peace and comfort in knowing that you are not alone to manage a serious or unstable condition.

Change in Physical Condition

If you have had a recent injury or the progression of chronic disease has limited your mobility, home health is an option to help you recover or to help manage daily living despite your condition. Home health can provide physical therapy and help with transfers or assistive devices.

Home health care is a great option for anyone with changes in condition or those who require some assistance, with housework, meal prep, activities of daily living, medication administration, or general companionship.
