Home Nursing Care in Delhi

 Home Nursing Care

Home nursing care is for all people who require home medical care for a chronic/acute condition or disability. Professionals who provide home-based nursing care in Delhi are either Nurses or Attendants.

 Home healthcare aims at making it possible for people to remain at home and recover rather than use a hospital-based care system. Home care providers render services in the comfort of the patients' home. These services include a combination of Professional Healthcare Services and Life Assistance Services.

 

Professional Healthcare Services are catered to by trained and qualified nurses who can provide medical assistance to the patient in the home setting like catheterization, inject-able medications/injections, wound care, Ryle’s tube change, etc.

 Life Assistance Services are provided by trained attendants who do patient care duties like looking after patient hygiene (bathing and toileting), patient feeding, patient turning, medication reminders, mobility assistance, etc.

Home nursing care also involves providing condition-specific and critical care that is required by people with complex illnesses and conditions.

 Any home care is routinely offered in 12 or 24 hour shifts, depending on the requirements of the patient. It is a well known fact that home care promotes healing, as patients tend to recover faster when in the comfort of their home. It is a more personal setting than a hospital, and you have the chance to make a life-changing impact on people, from newborns to the elderly.

 Home nursing provides the following services:

• Individually tailored packages. To suit the client's healthcare needs and finances.
• One-on-one care. Patients who need home health nursing may be elderly, disabled, or terminally ill, but they may also be recovering from an injury or accident or living with a chronic disease. Some home health nurses also work with pregnant women and new mothers to provide ongoing care, education, and support.
• Specialized Services. Home healthcare may involve assisting patients with wound care, medication management, injections, IV therapy etc.
• Document and monitor. Continuously checking vital signs and monitoring patient symptoms and behavior for any discrepancy which might require immediate medical care.
• Updates. Update the family and doctor as and when required regarding the patient’s condition.
• Support. Provide encouragement and support to the patient and family.

Good nurses must be always organized, detail-oriented, and possess communication and problem-solving skills because the home environment is often unpredictable, and a sense of humor and positive attitude can come in handy.
