Home Health Products

The continuum of care doesn't end at the entrance to a physician practice, specialty office, or surgery center. At-home self-care is becoming an increasingly desirable option for serving the growing elderly population beyond group accommodations such as clinics and nursing homes—as well for affordable recovery outside the hospital. Having quality home medical equipment (HME) can aid in the recapture of patient health.

Home Health Care Made Easy: Your Questions Answered

Providing home care for a loved one can be an enriching experience, but it can also raise many questions. At Henry Schein, we understand. That's why we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help guide you on your home health care journey:

What is home health care?

Home health care is a broad range of health care services that allow a person to recover or manage a medical condition in the comfort of their own home. This could be short-term care following surgery, or long-term care for someone with a chronic illness or disability.

What is a Caregiver?

A caregiver, often referred to as a personal care aide, home health aide, or simply a caretaker, is a professional who provides essential assistance to individuals who need help with daily activities. These individuals may include the elderly, those with chronic illnesses, people with disabilities, or anyone recovering from surgery or injury. Caregivers play a vital role in ensuring the well-being and quality of life for those they serve.

Types of Caregivers

• Family Caregivers: Family members who provide care for their loved ones, often without formal training. They assist with tasks like meal preparation, transportation, and managing medications.
• Professional Caregivers: Trained individuals employed to care for others in various settings such as private homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals. They offer specialized care tailored to the client's needs.
• Live-in Caregivers: Caregivers who live in the client's home, providing around-the-clock assistance, particularly for those who require constant supervision or help with daily activities.

What do Caregivers do?

Caregivers provide a wide range of services designed to support the physical, emotional, and social needs of their clients. Some of the key responsibilities of caregivers include:

• Personal Care: Assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. Caregivers ensure that their clients maintain their dignity and personal hygiene.
• Medication Management: Ensuring that clients take their prescribed medications on time and in the correct dosage. This may also involve coordinating with healthcare providers to manage any side effects or changes in medication.
• Mobility Assistance: Helping clients move safely around their home or facility, whether it involves transferring from a bed to a wheelchair, assisting with walking, or providing support during exercise.
• Meal Preparation: Planning and preparing nutritious meals that meet the dietary needs and preferences of the client. Caregivers also help with feeding if necessary.
• Companionship: Providing social interaction and emotional support to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation. Caregivers may engage in conversation, play games, or accompany clients on outings.
• Housekeeping: Performing light housekeeping duties such as cleaning, laundry, and organizing to maintain a safe and comfortable living environment for the client.
• Transportation: Assisting with transportation to medical appointments, social activities, or running errands. Caregivers ensure that clients can attend necessary appointments and maintain their independence.
• Monitoring Health: Keeping an eye on the client's overall health and well-being, including monitoring vital signs, noticing changes in behavior or condition, and reporting concerns to healthcare professionals or family members.

Who can benefit from home health care?

Home health care can be a valuable option for many people, including:

• Seniors who need assistance with daily living activities.
• Individuals recovering from an injury or surgery.
• People with chronic illnesses or medical conditions that require ongoing care.
• Individuals with disabilities who require assistance with mobility or other daily tasks.
