Helping Patients Lead Fuller Lives

Helping Patients Lead Fuller Lives
Living life to the fullest means something different to each of us. A long, healthy, happy life filled with family and adventures is all anyone can ever ask for. To achieve this, we usually need a bit of help along the way. Thankfully, some services can come right to your front door!
All Care is here to help patients achieve good health, mobility, and comfort. From home health to therapy to hospice, our purpose is always our patients! Here’s how we’re helping people achieve their best lives:
Home Health
Home health happens at home, but not because a patient can’t leave home. Patients may go out very little because of their overall health condition/diagnosis. For Medicare to pay for home health, a physician must attest that their patient is primarily homebound, leaving only for short periods when they feel up to it.
Services at home are intended to offer the convenience people need to feel better. Driving or even finding transportation services to receive care can add stress and sometimes prevent people from receiving the care they so critically need.
Here’s what can be included in home health services:
Skilled Nursing Services
- Medication teaching and management
- Patient and family education
- Rehab nursing
- Wound care
A Medical Social Worker
- Emotional support for patients and families
- Coordination of counseling & other community resources
- Long-term care planning
Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy
Skilled physical, occupational, and speech therapies enhance strength, safety, and independence. Therapies can be offered after an injury or hospitalization or as a preventative measure to reduce the risks of worsening a condition.
Available in a clinic, hospital, or at home, these therapies can help patients regain or maintain their abilities. Whether activities of daily living are becoming confusing, painful, or even impossible, therapy can help pave the way to independence.
Hospice
For those facing the end of life due to an incurable illness or complex health conditions, hospice can offer some peace. While each patient’s time left is limited and varied, hospice aims to help make their remaining time both comfortable and meaningful. Patients can create a care plan that allows them to be alert and pain-free, support their families, and receive services right where they call home.
Hospice provides a team that includes a medical director, RN, social worker, chaplain, aide, and volunteers. Patients can also choose family members, caregivers, and healthcare decision-makers to join their team.
The entire purpose of hospice is to help patients live how they want during their final days, weeks, or months. Families of those in hospice can also receive support after their loved one passes away.
Home health, therapies, and hospice are available in private residences, skilled nursing facilities, and senior living communities. Myths about hospice make it an underutilized service. In reality, hospice can help patients live with dignity, comfort, and peace of mind when they need it the most.
