BrightStar Care in Morris and Essex County Provides Home Care for the Sick
Whether it’s recovering from an illness, a broken ankle or hip, or a medical procedure, sometimes a home nurse is necessary. A private nurse can help keep you or loved ones on track with medications and check-ups, and an in-home nurse can be very beneficial.
Margarida Barbosa-Barreiro R.N., Director of Nursing for BrightStar Care of Morris and Essex County, laid out the situations where a home nurse or personal care assistant can help keep you safe at home. Margarida suggests:
Non-Ambulatory Situations –
“Oftentimes, our loved ones fall into situations where assistance is required, but an ambulance or hospital is not necessary. In-home caregivers help keep worry at bay and ensure safety for your loved ones who can still be independent, but need someone who is qualified and supportive at home with them.”
When Parents are Sick –
“Sometimes, parents get sick and are temporarily unable to care for their young children. Whether it’s a debilitating illness or temporary illness like the flu, BrightStar care can help provide qualified babysitters on a temporary or long-term basis if the parents do not have the necessary resources.”
Too Sick for Work –
“From a strong strain of the flu to work-related injuries, sometimes you’re too sick for work, but that doesn’t mean you require hospital care. In situations where a little extra help is necessary, temporary in-home caregivers can provide relief and assistance in a comforting place without being deserted in a hospital setting.”
In-home care is an excellent solution for many situations that may arise. It can be used in both short- and long-term circumstances and can relieve the stress and difficulties that may occur without it.
Whether caring for a child or for an elderly loved one, sometimes we each need a little additional help. Before automatically opting for a nursing home or full-time daycare, consider the option of in-home healthcare that allows your loved one to receive treatment and care within the comfort of her or his own home.
