Home-based care is exactly what it says, caring for people in the comfort of their home by a qualified nurse/caregiver under the supervision of a registered nurse.
When a person reaches a stage of immobility, or brain functioning has deteriorated to a stage when it becomes difficult to survive without the assistance of someone else, the time has arrived to make use of Home-based care.
It is usually very difficult for a person whose brain functions have declined to be accommodated into a nursing home. In their own home they would be surrounded by what they are used to while they only need to accept the friendly caregiver helping them to cope. The patient would still be busy with his daily routine accompanied by a caregiver 24 hours a day.
The caregiver may assist in all the daily tasks e.g. cooking, bathing, laundry, exercises, controlling medication, controlling vital signs, wound care, supporting rehabilitation, nail care, house cleaning and see that the patient enjoys a well-balanced meal on a daily basis.
Even though the Elderly homes or other facilities are very good, they simply cannot provide all the 24hour services 2Care4you is able to provide.
