WHAT YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT HOME CARE

Majority of people are in need of HOMECARE  givers but there are many factors to be considered;
1.WHY DO YOU NEED HOMECARE?
Let the truth be told,care at the comfort of your home is not for everyone,its meant for those who have a genuine need for it.
For example;an eighty year old woman who stays with her children in the city,the children will go to work from 7 am and return back 7pm,when they are back,they are exhausted, they go to mama's room and spend 20 minutes and go to bed.
16 hours or more of complete loneliness,everyday multiply by God knows how many months or years,this is simply punishment.
Put yourself in her shoes,will you want to be treated this way?
She needs a companion, someone to talk to,someone to argue with,someone to play with and that is where a trained caregiver comes in.
She isn't a pet to be kept in a cage,she needs care and because you are not available cause of your work,someone trained to care must be around her all the time.

Another example is a 70 year old stroke patient who is recuperating at home,he has either hemiplegia, paraplegia or quadriplegia which is simply paralysis,psychologically,he is not stable,physically unstable,emotionally imbalance and generally unhappy.
You don't need a house boy or a relative to care for this man,it is simply an act of punishment if you do so, because what this man need is more that bathing or wearing cloth for him,what he need is wholistic care.
A professional that will care for him totally.
A professional care giver that knows what he wants before he ask,that has the basic and profound knowledge of what happened to him and what he might be going through and knows exactly what to do to help him.

2.CAN YOU AFFORD HOMECARE?

HOMECARE might be difficult to maintain, if you consider the financial aspect.This is as a result of the fact that we do not have plan for HOMECARE while saving for retirement.

HOMECARE is not a luxury but a necessity, we all want to live good lives and be comfortable.

So,the question should be how much can't I spend to be comfortable.

No matter how much home care is, it is worth it as long as the goals are met.

You should know that there is no fix price for homecare.

But always be careful when the price is too low or too high.

When the price is too low,be sure the service will be the same.

In a country far away from ours,approximately 50% of old people have engage the services of HOMECARE at one point or the other because they have the in depth knowledge is and have saved for it.Its like saving water for a journey to the desert.HOMECARE helps in prolonging life and what ever the cost,its worth it.

Tips when Caring for Geriatric Patients

Below are tips for nurses when caring for aging patients:

1.Strike up a conversation

As humans, it is essential that we interact meaningfully with one another. As nurses, therapeutic communication is a must when providing care. The elderly population, may be lacking and in great need of genuine human to human interaction.

When caring for geriatric patients, do not only focus on the task that should be done, converse with your patient. You may start asking them about their children, where their used to work, what their hobbies include and many more. Remember that we are caring for people, with emotions and the need for interaction and not just robots.

2. Be patient

When communicating with our aging patients, it is important that we listen to what they say. Though they may have lessened ability to express, we must be patient when communicating with them and let them finish what they want to say.

3. Tell them about the procedure beforehand

Elderly people tend to resist strangers and do not trust people. Because of this, before starting a health care procedure to them, tell them beforehand what you are going to do. This would avoid noncooperation when they don’t trust you.

4. Offer a warm blanket

A warm blanket is always a good idea no matter what age a person is, especially to geriatric patients who tend to be more sensitive to the cool environment of the hospital.

5. Be gentle with their skin

The skin of the elderly is very sensitive. With aging skin or a good possibility that they are on some sort of blood thinner or aspirin, IV starts and blood draws, some serious battle wounds may become a problem for the geriatric population. Always remember to be gentle when it comes to dealing with their skin. Sometimes, simple gestures such as using paper tape instead of silk tape can make a huge difference.

They say when you’re a nurse, you get to witness life from womb to tomb. This is because the nursing profession does not only care for one age group in particular. We nurses do not only care for newborn babies, but for toddlers, young adolescents, adults and elder lies as well. In all these, we must always bear in mind that not one age group is completely similar to another. We must understand that every age group has their own needs and concerns and that care must not be generalized. Nurses must provide appropriate care, attention and assistance to meet each patient’s needs.

One day, we will get old, too. Caring for elderly patients is not that easy, but no matter how challenging it gets, let us remember to treat our elderly patients with both respect and patience.

Homecare Nursing in Nigeria

REASONS FOR HOME CARE
There are basically 4 reasons for home care settings;
1.    For living longer since most patients want to age in place with dignity.
2.    Patients have more chronic, complex conditions.
3.    They leave the hospital earlier and thus need more intensive care.
4.    Sophisticated medical devices have been moved into homes. Devices that were only used in homes and bedrooms. (Agency for healthcare research and quality, 2011).

Home care nursing is for individuals who need direct nursing care, but who do not wish to live in a nursing facility. A nurse can visit the home and provide care in that setting. A home health care patient is referred to as a client, and home care can last for a short period of time or an indefinite amount of time, according to medicare.gov. (Annie, 2010)

If you have health challenges and you need nurses or care givers to help you at home with activities of daily living.

Homecare for diabetic foot patient

DIABETES FOOT CARE
Diabetes is a disease that stops a person from making enough insulin to control glucose levels. The disease can cause foot problems. Diabetes can cause nerve damage. It also can cause narrowing of the blood vessels in the feet. Without proper care, foot problems can lead to amputation. These problems include: - Foot infections. - Foot ulcers. - Lower extremity infections. - Narrowing of blood vessels. - Nerve damage. - Numbness. Keeping your blood sugar within or close to a normal range can help prevent the foot problems associated with diabetes. Wash your feet daily and wear proper footwear. Exercise helps keep the blood vessels healthy and can prevent foot problems. Quitting smoking if you smoke can increase blood flow to the feet and help prevent foot problems. If you are a person with diabetes, check your feet for injuries often and see your health care provider regularly.

Bluegate homecare in Lagos..........we care about your health.

Diabetes insipidus (DI) causes frequent urination. You become extremely thirsty, so you drink. Then you urinate. This cycle can keep you from sleeping or even make you wet the bed. Your body produces large volumes of urine that are almost all water. 

DI is different from diabetes mellitus (DM), which involves insulin problems and high blood sugar. The symptoms can be similar; however, DI is related to how your kidneys handle fluids. It's much less common than DM. Urine and blood tests can show which one you have. 

Usually, DI is caused by a problem with your pituitary gland or your kidneys. Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. Medicines can often help.
