Making the decision to get outside help with the care of a loved one is never an easy thing, and it is a decision many families wrestle with and struggle with for years. There are many questions that get asked and most families struggle to get answers to even a handful of them. This lack of information can often lead to poor decisions and a lack of care that can impact the individual’s health and safety. Here at VNA and Hospice, we wanted to help provide answers to some of the most common questions regarding home health care in Monterey and the surrounding areas:
What Services are Offered by Home Health Care?
The services available range from basic to complex. Some groups provide basic help such as dressing, feeding and transportation. Others offer more involved care such as bathing, medication and fall prevention. You need to make sure the company you work with offers the level of care your loved one needs.
How Often is Home Care Provided?
Again, much of this is dependent on who you use and what level of care your loved one is in need of. Sometimes a few days a week is all that is needed, or an hour or so every day is enough. In some cases, however, half day or full day care may be needed in order to ensure your loved one is taken care of fully.
