When you or a family member are recovering from a hospital stay or transitioning from a rehabilitation center like a skilled nursing facility (SNF), there’s often a need for short-term transitional home care. At Olive Home Care, we have a nurse-led approach and a team-focused environment carefully designed to improve overall health and well-being during this important time.
Even if your loved one is currently receiving skilled nursing care from another agency, our companion care and personal care services at Olive Home Care can work alongside their care seamlessly. These services help with essential tasks like light housekeeping, companionship, taking breaks for family caregivers, getting dressed, personal hygiene, and assistance with moving around.
Professional care like this can significantly reduce problems like going back to the hospital, mistakes with medications, and falls. It may even help lower healthcare costs over time by stopping existing health problems from getting worse.
Guided by a Registered Nurse (RN) from Olive Home Care, we make sure the transition back home is safe and well-managed. Our adaptable team provides a wide range of services tailored to different health needs, including:
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): We’ll help with using inhalers correctly, remind you about medications, and support healthy habits.
- Diabetes: We check feet, monitor blood sugar levels, and educate your family.
- Heart Attack/AMI (Acute Myocardial Infarction): We provide information and help build heart-healthy habits.
- Heart Failure: We assist with taking medications, planning meals, and creating exercise routines.
- Pneumonia: Our team, led by RNs, manages medications, supports oxygen use, and helps with personal care.
- Post-Operative: We assist with recovering after surgery in the comfort of your home.
- Stroke: We help with daily tasks like eating, dressing, and moving around, and focus on preventing falls, reminding you about medications, and providing transportation to medical appointments or therapy sessions (like physical, occupational, or speech therapy).
- Therapy for Post-Op or Stroke: Our team also includes physical, occupational, and speech therapists who can give rehabilitation services in your own home.
