Why those who care for seniors should use Everybody Needs A Nurse
How often does it happen that you enter the home of a senior client and see so many medical and lifestyle issues that you are not in a position to resolve? There can be a sinking feeling that these people are slipping through the cracks in the system or that they are one disaster away from ending up in the emergency room, hospital, or nursing home.
Often seniors have a web of interrelated issues that seem to overwhelm them and their caregivers. For example, when we became involved with one of our client couples, the husband was suffering from moderate Alzheimer's disease, the wife had a tremor that might be Parkinson's, they both juggled multiple specialists and medications, and neither was receiving proper nutrition.
Our nurse was able to untangle these issues, prioritizing the things that needed urgent attention and monitoring the treatments and medications for each client. She accompanied them to their doctors' appointments and helped them understand the prescribed regimen. Although the clients have since moved to an independent living facility and are thriving, our nurse continues to monitor their health and well-being, making sure that questions are answered and that any potential problem is addressed before it becomes an emergency.
Some of the clients you see would benefit from Everybody Needs A Nurse. Our services can help anyone 55 or older who has one or more complex medical issues and needs help sorting through options. Using our service will help to improve the quality of life for those whose children live far away or have to make great sacrifices to take time away from their own lives to attend appointments.
Everybody Needs A Nurse has been in business since 2007, helping older Triangle residents stay independent and out of hospitals, nursing homes, and emergency rooms. If you would like to learn more about our services and receive a free, no-obligation evaluation, contact us at (919) 606-1819.
