HOME HEALTH CARE
Introduction
It can be hard to imagine being sick. You may feel tired and have little energy, or your body may hurt all over. It’s normal to be worried about how you’ll get through the next few days or weeks. We’re here to help! Our team of highly skilled professionals — nurses, therapists and social workers — are dedicated to helping you get better at home. We’ll work with your doctor to create a personalized plan of care, and we’ll work with your insurance company to make sure the services you need are covered.
Sometimes after a hospital stay or illness, you may need more focused care than family can provide.
Sometimes after a hospital stay or illness, you may need more focused care than family can provide. That’s when it makes sense to hire someone to help out in your home. It might be difficult for your family members to make sure that you’re taking your medication and getting enough rest at night, so hiring a caregiver can help with the constant tasks of taking care of an ill person.
Family members are also not always available during the day when you need them most: if they have jobs or school activities that keep them busy for hours on end each day (or even just one afternoon), then hiring a professional caregiver may be necessary for extended periods of time—and if this is something that concerns you as well as finding someone qualified enough within your budget range then look no further!

Our services include:
Wound care
Diabetes management
Cardiac rehabilitation
Catheter insertion and care (including insertion of diabetic foot ulcers)
Telemetry monitoring, including nocturnal blood glucose monitoring or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion via a catheter inserted into a major vein or artery in the foot. This monitoring allows us to provide early detection of complications that can lead to amputation. It also allows us to assess whether patients are responding well enough to their treatment plan so that they can return home safely instead of staying overnight at the hospital.
Wound care
Wound care is the process of treating wounds. It can be done by a medical professional or at home, but it’s important to know what you should do before and after treatment.
Wounds are common in daily life, especially when we cut ourselves or get injured on accident. Some common causes of wounds include:
Cutting yourself with sharp objects (like knives)
Getting injured while playing sports, such as basketball or football
Getting stabbed by an attacker
Diabetes management
For people with diabetes, the best way to manage it is through daily insulin injections and careful monitoring of blood sugar levels.
Diabetes is a condition in which your body does not produce enough insulin or does not use it effectively. Insulin helps control how glucose (sugar) moves from your bloodstream into body tissues for energy use. Without enough insulin, this process becomes more difficult and may lead to hyperglycemia (high blood glucose). If left unchecked, hyperglycemia can cause serious health problems such as blindness and kidney failure over time.
The symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, thirstiness or fatigue due to low blood sugar levels; blurred vision that occurs after standing up too quickly; frequent infections; big weight gain; numbness or tingling in hands/feet/legs/feet since they’ve lost sensation so they don’t feel pain anymore when they’re injured either physically or emotionally causing them sadness depression anxiety stress headaches nausea vomiting dizziness aches back pain joint stiffness muscle soreness joint swelling painful urination rashes skin rash numbness tingling sensation loss feeling tired tired off food hunger jittery irritable mood swings mood swings
Cardiac rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation is a program of exercise, education and support designed to help you recover from a heart attack, heart surgery or other cardiac event. It can improve your overall health and quality of life, and reduce the risk of future heart problems.
Cardiac rehabilitation programs are available in many hospitals across Canada. You’ll need to work closely with your doctor to find one that’s right for you—but here’s a quick guide:
What do they involve? The goal is to help patients learn how to manage their symptoms while increasing their activity levels over time (at least 30 minutes per day). This type of treatment usually lasts 6 months or longer; it may involve home visits as well as group sessions at various locations like hospitals or seniors’ homes where people live independently but aren’t yet ready for full independence back home yet either due physical limitations such as mobility issues caused by arthritis etc…
Catheter insertion and care
When you have a catheter inserted in the hospital, it’s usually done as part of a procedure called Foley catheterization. A nurse will gently place the tip of the tube through your urethra (the tube that connects your bladder to outside world) and gently press down on it until it reaches your bladder. This may sound uncomfortable, but most patients say they don’t even notice it happening!
If you want to use one at home, there are many different ways to insert them:
With a needle—this method involves inserting a thin needle into each side of the urethra; then taking out what’s left inside with tweezers or forceps once everything has drained from your body. The downside is that this method can be painful if done incorrectly and could cause bleeding if not done properly by someone with experience using needles for medical procedures like this one (which will vary depending on who does them). For example: If someone tries doing this without washing their hands first before sticking themselves with something sharp like an ice pick instead…you know what happens next right?
Telemetry monitoring
Telemetry monitoring is a form of continuous monitoring. It can be used to adjust medication and treatment based on patient response, as well as to monitor other vital signs such as heart rate and blood pressure. Telemetry monitoring is also commonly used in hospitals to record patients’ vital signs throughout their stay.
Telemetry is a great tool for home health care providers because it allows them to provide care for people with chronic conditions who need constant supervision or attention from family members who may not have medical training.
Pain management
Pain management is a critical part of the recovery process. As your body heals, pain can be caused by muscle spasms or swelling and may feel like it’s getting worse as you try to move around. Painkillers are often used to treat this type of pain and can help relieve your symptoms when they’re severe enough that they interfere with daily activities.
There are many options for pain management—including medication, physical therapy, exercise and more—but knowing which ones work best for you will depend on many factors: your age; the severity of your injury; how long ago it happened; whether there’s any nerve damage involved; whether there’s still tissue damage (like ligament tears); whether any other injuries have occurred (like a broken bone).
The best way for an individualized program tailored specifically towards their needs based on these factors would include:
New diagnosis teaching and education
New diagnosis teaching and education is a critical component of your home health care team’s responsibility, as it provides you with resources to help you understand and cope with your condition. In fact, many adults with new diagnoses have reported feeling confused or anxious about what their symptoms mean.
The benefits of learning about your condition can include:
Better understanding of the causes of your symptoms (what they are and why they happen) – This can help prevent unnecessary panic attacks or other negative feelings like fear or anxiety. It also helps you create a plan for managing these conditions so that they don’t interfere with daily life too much anymore! It’s important not only during the first few months after diagnosis but also down the road when there might be new treatments available too.”
Being sick is hard. Let us help make it easier.
It can be overwhelming to think about what you need when you’re sick. We understand how important it is for you to stay in your own home, with the people who love and care for you. That’s why Home Health Care is such a great option for seniors who want help getting better at home.
Home Health Care gives patients peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are nearby when it matters most—and that no matter where they live or where they go on vacation, there will always be someone there waiting just a phone call away.
Conclusion
We know a lot of people are worried about the high cost of health care. But at Home Care Assistance, we’re committed to helping everyone get the care they need for as long as they need it, without ever worrying about paying for it.
