Hospice Care

WHAT ARE SPECIALIZED HOME CARE SERVICES?

Imagine…

  • A patient might need extra care due to sudden injury or illness and to speed up the recovery process at home.
  • There are some diseases, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia, that demand long-term, ongoing special care at home for the patient.
  • Then, with age, people tend to become afflicted with certain health issues such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
  • Also, there can be a situation when a person needs in-home post-surgery care for a certain period after undergoing a major surgery.

The above scenarios are quite common, and these ‘patients’ can be anyone – someone you love, maybe your father or mother.

Or, it can be ‘you’ who needs special care at home for your physical and emotional well-being.

Specialized home care refers to both medical and non-medical care services tailored to the patient’s needs and provided in the comfort of their homes.

The reason for choosing specialized care at home is that these situations need some specific considerations when providing care to such patients.

At Sonama Aya Centre, we recognize these situations and consider the unique needs of these patients. We realize that only caregivers who have special training, specialized expertise, and specific personalities can take care of these patients. Therefore, we have developed specialized home care services for individuals who need help managing their daily activities.

WHO NEED SPECIALIZED HOME CARE SERVICES?

Families choose in-home healthcare services for individuals with chronic conditions, such as post-operative care or recovering from serious illness, or who need personalized assistance due to disability, age, or chronic illness.

Here are some health conditions that need specialized home healthcare services –

Patients undergoing post-operative recovery

Proper treatment and care are essential for post-operative recovery. Under the guidance and instructions from healthcare providers, patients can opt for home care after surgery. Since family members often lack nursing training and experience, so they may not be the right fit to provide adequate patient care at home.  

That’s where post-surgery home care from trained nurses helps. With proper home care by specialized professionals, your beloved family member can recover at a faster rate in the comfort of your home.

People with chronic medical conditions

Living with a chronic medical condition seems to be difficult as it often requires continuous care, adjustments, and supervision. While many might think keeping such patients with chronic conditions in hospitals or specialized facilities would be the best option, specialized home care offers several benefits that can significantly improve the quality of those individuals’ lives.

No one can ignore the comfort of being in one’s own space, surrounded by dear and near ones, while getting personalized care from trained professionals. Whether it is about specialized dementia care or palliative care for cancer patients at home, the combination of professional support, flexibility and comfort of one’s home can make significant changes in the quality of life for these individuals.


Individuals with disabilities

Any disability, including physical, sensory, intellectual or developmental disability, hinders an individual from performing their daily activities. It’s crucial to recognize that individuals with disabilities have special needs and capabilities.

Since these persons often face unique challenges concerning their overall health and well-being, in-home care for special needs adults would help address their specific needs.

People with age-related needs

As people age, they may find difficulty in managing their daily activities and well-being. While some older people need full assistance in performing their regular activities, such as brushing, bathing, dressing, toileting and eating, others may need partial support in health monitoring and medication management.

In such cases, specialized care services offer a wonderful solution for senior citizens. Through skilled nursing care at home, personal assistance, fall prevention, and hospice and palliative care at home, these special home care facilities enhance the quality of life, well-being and mental peace of elderly residents.

New mothers and newborn babies

In their pregnancy phase, women need special care, treatment and a strong support system throughout all three parts: prenatal, during pregnancy, and postnatal. While in the prenatal phase, women expect a lot of attention; they need to take special care of themselves in their nine months of pregnancy. Then, mothers and newborn babies require special care, guidance and attention in the postnatal phase.

Specialized home care can be a blessing for many new parents who don’t have enough family support systems for this crucial time. Post-operative home health care by trained nurses or caregivers ensures the proper recovery and good health for both mothers and newborn babies.
