What is a Home Care Nurse?
Nursing at home is usually delivered by two types of nurse – home care and health care. Home care nurses generally deal with the more routine, non-clinical aspects of supporting your loved one. These include:
- Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) like dressing, grooming and bathing
- Cleaning and organizing
- Meal delivery/preparation
- Companionship/Chaperone
- Medication reminders
- Transportation
- Help with bills/financial management
What is a Home Health Care Nurse?
Health Care nurses provide care at home that is more focused on the medical/health needs of the patient. They often also act as a healthcare liaison between the patient, family members and doctors and specialists. Home health nurse responsibilities include:
- Formal health monitoring
- Administering medication e.g. Injections
- Medical tests
- Clean and dress wounds
- Rehabilitation therapy
- Document symptoms and vital signs
- Communicate with doctors, social workers or other health professionals
Do I Need a Health Care Nurse, Home Care Nurse or Both?
Often patients require both home care and health care and many people find that a combination of both home health and home care is the best option for their loved one. This helps to ensure that both their medical and emotional needs are met and catered for.
Luxe Home Care provides nursing support in whatever format works for you and our multi-disciplinary team will work with you to create a customized plan.
Home Care vs Nursing Home – Why Choose Home Based Nursing?
Many people find that Home health care is just as effective and safe as inpatient care as well as more affordable. There are many benefits of receiving at-home care such as:
- Remain near friends and family
- Ability to tailor your care (ask for more help or less as needed)
- Reduced need to travel to medical appointments
- Retain feeling of Independence
- Avoid potential stressful/unsettling move
- Keep pets and animals
