Benefits of Home Health Care

Receive Reliable Support from a Professional Team

Patients that work with a home healthcare agency receive support from a professional team and can scale their services up or down as needed. As an example, an individual that works with a single caregiver may have a harder time scaling up services in anticipation for a surgery or cancer treatment.

At St. Agatha Home Healthcare, we make it easy for our clients to access the services that they need and to coordinate them effectively. Regardless of the condition that our clients are faced with, we can help coordinate skilled nursing services, caregiving services, and therapy on their behalf.

Our team handles all necessary communication, coordination, and scheduling of services between multiple service providers and even between multiple agencies if required.

Home Healthcare is Affordable

Home healthcare is cost effective because it does not include unnecessary room and board expenses.

For patients that need skilled nursing or caregiving services it can be more economical to schedule in-home sessions than to pay for 24/7 care in a facility.

In-home Healthcare is Personalized

Healthcare agencies tailor in-home services to the individual’s needs. Everything from the length of the visit, to the type of care, and the qualifications of the care provider are hand-picked for the patient’s needs.

At St. Agatha Home Healthcare, we can arrange for home care including assistance with bathing, getting dressed, grooming, laundry, homemaking, shopping, preparing meals, and much more. We can also arrange for specialized nursing nurses, therapy sessions, and other healthcare programs as needed.

By having the ability to receive home care, and home healthcare, patients can feel much more comfortable with their recovery than if they were just receiving medical care in a facility setting.

Maintain Comfort & Independence

Senior citizens want to continue being comfortable in their own home rather than having to move into an assisted living facility. Home healthcare is perfect for elderly adults who want to maintain independence yet would also benefit from receiving assistance when needed.

Whether recovering from an illness, battling a chronic condition, or dealing with declining physical abilities, a home healthcare agency can make a huge difference in one’s life. Having a caregiver or qualified nurse within the home improves the comfort of senior citizens as well as their quality of living.

High Standards of Safety

Traveling to hospitals or medical offices for appointments can increase the chances of experiencing an accident or catching a virus. When our clients count on us for in-home healthcare services, they know that we take the necessary precautions to keep them safe.

Our staff is trained in identifying hazards in the home, such as tripping hazards, and can act accordingly to reduce or eliminate such risks. All of our team members are also educated in the prevention of viruses and contagious diseases. We’re COVID-19 conscious and will always wear a mask, wash our hands, and disinfect common areas to minimize the chances of infection for patients, their family members and friends, and our team members.

Receive Compassionate Care

Senior citizens that receive care in their own home also make it much easier for friends and family to visit them. Social connection and emotional support from one’s support network is critical to maintaining good health.

For those that may lack a personal support network, our team is there to fill in the gap. Every single team member that we hire is carefully selected based on their capacity to be compassionate and caring, in addition to their professional track record.

Minimize Confusion or Stress

Senior citizens that are dealing with Dementia or Alzheimer’s can have a hard time waking up or staying in a facility. The different surroundings, and new faces, can become disorientating for them and lead to unnecessary confusion. For people that are in a sensitive state, it is beneficial for them to receive skilled nursing and caregiving services in the familiarity of their home.

For other people, it can be a source of stress just to stay in a hospital away from home or away from family members. It brings us a great sense of joy to be able to provide the services that our clients need in their own home, where they can be re-united with spouses, children, and grandchildren during their time of treatment or care.
