Diabetic Care

Diabetic care requires keeping close watch over blood sugar levels to keep them at the goal level set by a doctor. This is achieved via a combination of medications, exercise, and diet, including, paying close attention to what and when you eat to minimize or avoid rapidly changing blood sugar levels.

IV Therapy & Injections

IV (intravenous) therapy and injections are commonly used as a method of delivering fluids, nutrition, and medications to patients via either a catheter and a needle of an injection. This is most often done in the hospital, although it can be done in the home when long-term care is needed.

Medication Education & Management

Medication education is designed to help patients learn about their medication and how to properly manage it. This includes learning the names of the medications they are on, what each type of medication does for them, and when and how to take it.

Medication Reminders

Medication reminders are strategies seniors can use to help them remember when and how to take their medication. This can include doing things like setting an alarm, using a reminder app, or using a blister pack.

Nutritious Meal Planning and Preparation

Nutritious meal planning and preparation are important when adopting a healthier diet. A nutrition consultant or registered dietician can help you create healthy meal plans based on your nutrition goals and provide guidance on meal preparation. There are also many online resources to help with meal planning and preparation.

Pain Management

Pain management deals in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of all different types of pain. Pain is actually a wide spectrum of disorders including acute pain, chronic pain and cancer pain.

Respite/Relief For Families

Respite care is a service that provides temporary relief to families and caregivers by providing short-term childcare. This helps improve stability in the family and help reduce the chances of neglect or abuse.

Personal Care

Personal care is a service that provides in-home care to individuals to help them stay in their home, rather than move to a nursing home or other institutional setting. Personal care involves the hands-on assistance of a personal care worker, who helps an individual perform daily self-care tasks, such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, that they cannot perform on their own.

Wound Care & Dressing Changes

Wound care involves every stage of wound management. This includes diagnosing wound type, considering factors that affect wound healing, and the proper treatments for wound management.
