NURSING VISITS
Many people ask us, "Why include nursing visits?" in the recommended care plan.
For many clients, regular nursing visits, which are an hour in length, mean fewer trips to the doctor's office over the course of a year. And it means changes in a client's health are dealt with as they occur rather than at a later, more advanced stage.
Additionally, some clients feel unburdened by having our nurses take on the task of keeping medications renewed as well as becoming the primary liaison with family physicians.
Other reasons for considering a series of scheduled home nursing visits can include new medications being prescribed. Our nurses will report any undue side-effects to the doctor as well as track the client's progress as it relates to the medication change.
the monitoring of blood pressure is yet another reason for regular home nursing visits. Changes in blood pressure are often telling of other developments. Many clients prefer the convenience of having their blood pressure monitored through home nursing visits.
These are only a few examples of how home nursing visits can work to optimize a client's health and maintain their quality of life at home.
NURSING CARE
We can be waiting at home for clients discharged from hospital, providing a seamless and comfortable transition. In addition to regular duties our nursing staff will handle all communication with physicians, reporting concerns, changes
and developments to family.
CARE for VETERANS
Canadian war veterans are entitled to a wide range of benefits through the Canadian government. Thornbrook is a regular provider of these services. Please do not hesitate to contact us for information on these services.
HOMEMAKERS/COMPANIONS
Sometimes this is all that is needed. A little help around the home including meal preparation, tidying up, changing linens, doing laundry and looking after various other household chores, along with a smiling face and a few hours of companionship.
24-HOUR LIVE-IN CARE
The ultimate solution in many situations, providing one-on-one care at no greater expense than a retirement or long-term care facility.
OVERNIGHT CAREGIVING
Occasionally, family caregivers need a good night's rest that can only come from having a reliable overnight caregiver in place to provide the necessary 'peace of mind'.
