Usefulness of Transitioning Home Care Service in the Proper Execution of the Recovery Plan |
Posted: November 9, 2016 |
Often the attending physician stresses on the importance of following the recovery plan diligently as not doing so could lead to more physical and financial problems. Though family caregivers have every intention of adhering to the recovery plan, they usually find the situation overwhelming. This could be because they also have to attend to other tasks (job, children, etc.) and/or not being properly trained to cope with the caregiving stress. If family caregivers are not been able to follow the recovery plan as intended several problems might occur that could lead to hospital readmission. Some of these problems could be: wrong or no administration of medication, missing important medical appointments, no one to help the care recipients with activities of daily living (toileting, bathing, etc.) that may lead to fatal fall injuries, skipped meals, etc. Hence, it becomes imperative that the family caregivers seek outside help if they find it difficult to take care of their loved one on their own. Transitioning home care service is specifically designed to aid in the swift recovery of the care recipients by helping them with the activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental ADL. If needed, professional caregivers can also communicate with the medical team to provide help according to the recovery plan.
