How Home Nursing Services Can Provide Seniors Well-Rounded Care, Caregivers El Cajon

Tuesday, May 24th, 2022

“When mom or dad or an aging loved one needs regular medical attention, many families struggle to choose an option that works for everyone,” says Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. They don’t want to put them in a facility, but we’re not sure if they can provide the kind of care their loved one needs at home.

Here’s how skilled nursing services can help provide well-rounded care from the comfort and privacy of home.

More Than Medical Attention – Quality nursing services understand that in-home care extends far beyond medical. Aging or injured patients need socialization and the opportunity to do the things they enjoy in a safe but independent way. Regular visits from a skilled nurse can help you provide the safe environment your loved one needs to maintain an active, happy life.

A Friend in the Face of Uncertainty – Debilitating diseases like Alzheimer’s or Dementia can be complicated, placing elevated stress on family caregivers. In many cases, families feel frustrated, and tension levels rise in the home. When a skilled nurse visits, stress and anxiety fade, replaced by much-needed calm and peace of mind that a warm, caring professional is on hand to help.

Expertise and Medical Know-How – Of course, nothing compares to having medical expertise at the ready when caring for a loved one at home. Many families choose to care for an aging loved one or injured family member at home rather than place them in an assisted living facility. Skilled nursing services make this choice possible, with regular visits to ensure medical care is being delivered properly and in the patient’s best interest.

El Cajon Caregivers Senior Homecare Agency Publishes Skilled Nursing Selection Guide

Saturday, October 12th, 2019

Firstat Nursing Services, a senior in-home caregiver agency serving El Cajon publishes homecare guide, How to Find a Trusted, Competent Skilled Nursing Service.

“For many busy families today, choices about how to care for a loved one who is aging or sick can be stressful,” says Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. While there are many great full-time living facilities, not every senior is ready to leave the home they love.

When considering skilled nursing, here are three critical things to look for when seeking a trusted, competent service.

Full Licensing and Certification
Before any conversation begins, make certain the in-home skilled nursing service being considered has only licensed and certified professionals on board. Registered nurses with full certification ensure loved ones get the medical attention they need, when they need it most. The best providers offer certification for Alzheimer’s and Dementia care too, helping families navigate the uncertainties of difficult disease.

A Great Reputation in the Community
Don’t be afraid to reach out to friends, relatives and anyone that may have had the opportunity to secure in-home care. Was their experience positive? If not, why? Researching the caregiver agency being considered as a business and as a service is an important part of making a well-informed choice. Great businesses worked hard to build a reputation with the local community that’s positive. Decades or more of serving the community is an important sign of trustworthiness and dependability that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Friendly, Personable Staff
With experience and qualifications prioritized, it’s easy to forget about friendliness and personality. Chances are loved ones will spend a lot of one-on-one time with a skilled nurse, so it helps when they’re warm and friendly. Exceptional in-home care moves beyond qualifications, to real people with a positive outlook and a friendly demeanor. Compassion and kindness are important and may be what differentiate the best caregivers from those who just go through the motions.
