I Heart My Home Health realizes that your loved ones are the most vulnerable after hospital discharge, so we will make certain to alleviate the stress, decrease confusion, and reinforce the follow-up plans to improve the patient’s quick recovery at home. From start to end, I Heart My Home Health is committed to patient safety and satisfaction, by maintaining continuous patient/family feedback that would provide early identification and evaluation of any changes in the patient’s condition to prevent emergency room readmission. Most importantly, our nurse will align the management of the patient’s health directly compatible with the patient and family’s healthcare desires.
What Makes I Heart My Home Health Different
What You Can Expect as a Patient of I Heart My Home Health
Upon your admission to home health, our nurses at I Heart My Home Health will immediately compile a comprehensive and accurate summary of your care by bridging the hospital care and the doctor’s plan of care that you will receive at home. This necessary intervention ensures I Heart My Home Health has appropriately identified all concerns that may warrant additional interventions that will help you succeed in getting better at home and prevent being readmitted back to the hospital. During the Start of Care, our nurse will be sure to evaluate you physically, emotionally, and mentally for psychosocial issues, including cognitive status, substance abuse or dependence, abuse or neglect that may necessitate referrals to appropriate providers. Also, our nurse will establish clear communications between the physician, the patient, as well as give you, the patient’s family the agency’s emergency contact number for any questions and concerns.
Honoring the Community with Paying It Forward
I Heart My Home Health recognizes the tremendous impact of a sick family member on the dynamics of the whole family unit: spouses take on dual roles, teenagers and young adults get a job to supplement income, children take on the part of a parent, and sometimes grandparents move in to help to care for their grandchildren. Eventually, the toll on the family will affect them physically, emotionally, financially, mentally, and psychosocially. Unfortunately, no one can ever truly understand the effects of having a sick family member.
While the agency does its best to accommodate and help patients and families, the truth is time can never be replaced. More so than often, having someone for a few minutes in the home present can mean so much. Therefore, I Heart My Home Health pledges to Pay it Forward, by donating one hour of FREE nursing care to nine families a month who are in need, use however they choose; to go to an appointment, to catch up on much-needed sleep, or to spend time with friends outside of the home. What can an hour do? It gives the patient and family time. A moment in time that many of us take for granted.
