Delta Health Home Health provides care for children and adults of all ages with compassion, skill and a dedication to making life comfortable in your own home. Home Health is a popular and highly effective form of care, particularly for individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or managing chronic health conditions. This service brings medical, rehabilitative, and therapeutic care directly to a patient’s home, offering a range of benefits that contribute to improved health outcomes and overall well-being.
Why Home health
Home health offers numerous advantages by working collaboratively to provide holistic, patient-centered care that addresses the medical, functional, and emotional needs of patients. This interdisciplinary holistic approach helps patients recover in the comfort of their homes, promotes independence, prevents hospital readmissions, and reduces the burden on caregivers while providing better outcomes and a higher quality of life.
Personalized/One-on-One Attention
- Home health allows for highly personalized care. Unlike busy clinic settings where therapists may be juggling multiple patients, home health provides patients with one-on-one attention. This focused care ensures that the care plan is specific to the individual’s unique needs, abilities, and pace of progress. The Clinician can adjust techniques and goals in real-time, making the care more adaptable and efficient.
Comfort and Familiarity
- One of the benefits of home health is the comfort it offers. For patients, receiving care in their own homes makes a significant difference. The familiarity of home helps to alleviate anxiety and stress, so patients often feel more at ease, leading to better outcomes.
Faster Recovery and Better Outcomes
-
Patients who receive home health often experience faster recovery times. This is partly due to the consistent attention they receive from their Clinicians and the comfort of their familiar environment. Clinicians can observe the patient in their natural setting and provide recommendations on modifying everyday activities to avoid re-injury or stress on the body.
Holistic and Family-Centered Care
-
Family is integrated into the care process. Family members often play a crucial role in a patient’s recovery. Clinicians can teach family members how to assist with exercises, support mobility, and monitor progress, creating a more holistic approach to care. This involvement can empower families to provide better ongoing support and care for their loved ones while reducing caregiver stress. Home Health clinicians come from a variety of specialties and play critical roles in ensuring that patients receive comprehensive, high-quality care in the comfort of their homes.
Home Health Clinical Team
Skilled Nurses (RNs/LPN)
Nurses are the backbone of home health care, providing direct care, assessing patient needs, and developing care plans. They monitor patients’ health, medication management, wound care, and other medical treatments, and educate patients and families about managing illnesses or conditions.
RNs ensure that care is personalized and tailored to the patient’s specific needs, improving recovery rates, preventing hospital readmissions, and enhancing quality of life.
Physical Therapists (PTs)
Physical therapists play a critical role in helping home health patients regain mobility and strength after surgery, injury, or illness. PTs develop exercise programs, provide hands-on therapy, and help patients improve physical function.
PTs are vital in reducing fall risks, improving independence, and enhancing quality of life by helping patients regain functional mobility.
Occupational Therapists (OTs)
OTs focus on helping patients regain the ability to perform daily living activities, such as dressing, bathing, cooking, and household chores. They also provide adaptive strategies and tools to help patients live more independently.
OTs enable patients to maintain or improve their independence, making home environments safer and helping them adapt to changes in their physical abilities.
Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs)
SLPs work with patients who have communication disorders or swallowing difficulties, often resulting from stroke, neurological conditions, or surgery. They help restore speech, communication skills, and safe swallowing techniques.
SLPs improve patients’ quality of life by enhancing their ability to communicate effectively and eat safely, reducing the risk of complications like aspiration pneumonia.
