Why Your Family Can Benefit From Hiring a Home Health Aide in Brooklyn, NY

Building a stronger care network with our care team

One of the biggest challenges a family can face is providing adequate care for seniors in the home. Everyone wants to take care of their parents when they need the help the most, but work and other responsibilities make it impossible to take care of all the tasks required for an elderly family member throughout the day. Thankfully, many Right at Home clients can find the help they need by relying on a Home Health Aide.

The Responsibilities of a Home Health Aide

Our team understands they bear a lot of responsibility and are required to perform a wide variety of tasks. Because they act as care providers throughout the day for your loved one(s) some team members are trained as Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) or Patient Care Assistants (PCA).

Some of the other duties of a Home Health Aide includes:

• A Comfortable Home — By providing all the necessary care without having to place a family member in a facility, aides ensure that loved ones can stay where they most prefer to be: in their home.
• Greater Independence — Patients feel a greater sense of independence when they can stay at home. They’re not tied to the schedule of a nursing facility, and the feeling of dignity and comfort can often aid in recovery from an injury or illness.
• Increased Freedom for Family Members — If you’re the caregiver for an elderly parent, you know how exhausting and time consuming the work can be. Respite services provided by our team allows family members greater freedom along with the knowledge that their loved one is in good hands.
• Individual Care — Even the most conscientious nurse in an assisted living facility will need to take care of several patients at once. A home health aide, however, can devote their time entirely to your loved one.
• A Healthier Environment — Remaining at home protects your loved one from the infections and diseases that may be present at a facility.
• More Quality Time — By caring for a parent at home, you are free to visit whenever you want. You won’t have to navigate a facility’s schedule, nor will you have to take care of the personal care responsibilities that can act as a barrier to typical family relations.

Thoughtful, Responsible Home Care

Professionally trained team is able to perform several duties that keep a patient safe while improving their quality of life. They can take care of day-to-day responsibilities such as bathing and dressing, light housekeeping, grocery shopping, and transportation to and from doctor visits; and they’ll also provide valuable assistance with important healthcare tasks such as monitoring medicine, meal planning and preparation, and at-home physical therapy exercises.

If necessary, your Home Health Aide can provide care specifically suited towards patients suffering from Alzheimer’s, a recent stroke, cancer treatment, heart disease, or who require hospice or palliative support.
