Home Health Nursing
Facing a prolonged illness or injury can be overwhelming, but it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Hiring a home care nurse with us can offer the support you need during this challenging time.
We provide not just medical expertise, but also compassion, encouragement, and companionship to help you navigate your journey to recovery.
By choosing in-home nursing care with us, you’re prioritizing your health and well-being. You’re investing in yourself and your future, ensuring that you receive the personalized attention and support you need to thrive.
Our home care nurses specialize in the following areas
Wound and Ostomy Care
Our team of nurses provides advanced wound care services at home, including bandage changes, skin care, ostomy management, and diabetes wound care. We also assist your physician in decision-making between appointments to ensure seamless home healing.
In addition, our nurses are trained to recognize signs of infection and abnormal discoloration or odors during the healing process. This helps us maintain regular communication with your doctor to keep them well-informed and updated on your progress.
Education & Training
One significant aspect of our role is education and training, where we work closely with you to ensure you understand your condition, treatments, and how to take care of yourself between appointments.
Through personalized education sessions, we simplify complex medical information and help you make informed decisions about your care. Whether it’s explaining medications, teaching wound care techniques, or discussing dietary and lifestyle changes, we are here to provide the knowledge and tools you need to stay healthy.
In addition, we offer hands-on training to ensure you feel confident in managing your health independently. This could include learning how to take medications correctly, monitor your vital signs, or perform daily tasks safely.
Catheter Care
Catheter management at home involves the insertion, monitoring, and removal of a thin, sterile tube into the bladder to drain urine. It is utilized for various disorders, procedures, or when deemed necessary by a physician.
At Truly Patience Home Care, all the nurses are proficient in catheter insertion, removal, and Foley catheter monitoring. They are also adept at identifying and managing complications associated with catheters.
Labs & Venipuncture
As home care nursing services providers, we offer comprehensive phlebotomy (labs) and venipuncture help right in the comfort of your own home.
Phlebotomy involves carefully drawing blood samples from you and then transporting them to the laboratory for testing. Venipuncture, on the other hand, is the process of obtaining intravenous access for things like administering medications or fluids, or for taking blood samples for testing.
These procedures require precision and care to ensure your comfort and safety.
PICC Lines
A PICC line is a valuable tool for delivering treatments and medications directly into your bloodstream, and we’re dedicated to ensuring that you receive the best care right in the comfort of your own home.
From the moment your PICC line is inserted to ongoing maintenance and monitoring, we’ll be by your side, ensuring that your treatment is safe and effective. Whether you need intravenous medications, fluids, or blood tests, we’ll work closely with you and your healthcare team to craft a personalized care plan that meets your needs.
Intravenous Therapy
IV therapy or drips involve administering medications, fluids, and other treatments directly into your bloodstream. It is the fastest way to administer medications and fluid replacement throughout the body, as the circulatory system carries them.
Whether you need regular medication administration, hydration therapy, nutritional support, or specialized treatments, we’ll work closely with you and your healthcare team to create a care plan that suits you.
The convenience of receiving IV therapy at home means you can avoid traveling to a medical facility and instead relax in familiar surroundings while getting the care you need.
Fall Prevention and Home Safety Education
With aging comes changes in physical abilities, health conditions, and medications that can increase the risk of falls for older adults. However, we’re here to offer personalized support and guidance to help minimize these risks and create a safe environment.
Our approach involves thoroughly assessing your home, where we’ll identify any potential hazards or areas for improvement. Together, we’ll develop tailored strategies to address these concerns, which may include making simple adjustments like installing grab bars, removing trip hazards, or improving lighting.
We’ll also provide education on fall prevention techniques and home safety practices to help you stay safe at home. This might involve teaching you proper ways to move and balance, as well as tips for completing daily tasks safely.
Tracheostomy Care
Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure in which a small opening is made in the neck to assist with breathing when natural breathing through the nose or mouth is not possible, typically due to medical conditions like respiratory failure, spinal cord injuries, or neurological disorders.
At Truly Patience Home Care, we provide comprehensive support to patients and their families in managing this unique aspect of their healthcare needs. This includes assisting with tasks like changing tracheostomy tubes, performing suctioning procedures, and providing education on proper care techniques and signs of complications.
