The client's physician must prescribe home care services and the client must be homebound, but does not have to be confined to bed.
In addition, the client and the family must be willing to work with the Cardinal Hill Home Care staff in order to improve the client's health.
Family members are an essential part of the treatment team, and the involvement is vital to the client's success in rehabilitation.
We encourage the family to observe and participate in educational sessions and ask questions throughout the client's home care program.
Family members will work closely with the Cardinal Hill Home Care case manager.
A plan of care is designed to meet each client's individual needs. The team members focus on helping the client regain the ability to live life as independently as possible, revising the client's treatment plan as each new goal is met. The plan of care may include any or all of the following services:
A registered nurse sets a plan of treatment with the doctor, client and family. Nursing services may include physical exams, wound care, catheter care, IV therapy, tracheostomy care, colostomy care and client and family teaching.
A licensed physical therapist will work with the client to meet the client's needs, which may include pain relief, prevention of further disability and/or restoring function for maximum independence. Each therapist will customize a home exercise program that meets the client's specific needs.
A licensed occupational therapist will work with the client to improve activities of daily living. This may include increasing independence with self-care and other functional tasks.
A licensed speech-language pathologist will work with those clients requiring assistance with speaking, pronunciation, comprehension, reading, writing, memory,cognition, and swallowing.
The social worker will work with the client and family to address personal, social, emotional or financial needs related to the illness and their progress.
These services serve as a supplement to those provided by the other home health clinicians. Aides may assist with bathing, grooming, routine exercises and light household tasks.
Cardinal Hill Home Care staff will work with the client and family to assess the client's payment options.
In most situations, Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance (if this is a benefit of the client's policy) will pay for home care services.
Private payment may also be arranged
