When we think of home health aides, we often picture medical help for incapacitated seniors. However, the broad spectrum of in home health services available addresses a wide population and variety of needs.

For example, home health aides can provide transportation for an otherwise independent senior, or provide transitional help as a recently disabled person adjusts to his or her sudden lifestyle changes.

At Blue Sea Care, we see that, far too often, families forgo seeking home health assistance because they don’t truly understand how customizable this help can be. In home health services can provide as little or as much support as a person needs, regardless of age or level of health.

What Should I Know About In Home Health Services?

What do home health aides do? This is a common question, and the honest answer is that they provide whatever level of assistance that best meets your family’s needs. Maybe your loved one needs help with morning or evening routines, including medication administration. Maybe an Alzheimer’s patient needs actively monitored care that adapts to his or her deteriorating condition.

Home health workers help you navigate those situations when a person needs more help and assistance, and could benefit from the support of a trained professional who has the skillset to do so in a competent and compassionate manner. Home health agency services maintain a pool of professionals with a variety of skill levels so that they can match you with as little or as much help as your family needs. For example, some situations will require aides who help with everyday tasks, while others will need medically trained CNAs or RNs.

At Blue Sea Care, we collaborate with our clients to create custom-tailored plans that match their required levels of in home health care. Through our home health assessment, we identify both short and long-term goals, while also giving an objective evaluation of your loved one’s actual care needs. If you have someone in your life who needs more help around the home to maintain quality of life, contact us for a consultation and let us show you how diverse home care options can be.
