SERVICESOnce the decision is made by you and your doctor to get home health services, A Loving Heart staff will come to your home for an assessment of your medical condition and needs. We will work with you and your doctor to set up a plan of care, including the services, treatments and equipment needed.
At A Loving Heart Home Health Care LLC, our goal is to help our clients achieve the best quality of life possible. We understand that one solution does not fit every situation so we take the time to listen and learn about each client's needs and preferences. This enables us to tailor a care program that maximizes the client's independence and dignity. Understandably, most seniors prefer to stay in the familiar comfort of their own homes. This is more doable than you may think. We can arrange for medical and non-medical visits from registered nurses, physical therapists, social workers and home care aides. We are a Passport Provider and accept private pay. Home HealtH Aid
A home health aide helps with grooming and bathing while patients are receiving home health service. Our home health aides are trained and certified to provide assistance with activities of daily living including bathing, grooming, dressing and skin care. Skilled Nursing
A Loving Heart has a team of highly qualified registered and licensed practical nurses who work collaboratively with other members of the healthcare team to provide quality care in the home setting. All services are ordered by your physician and are provided in the home. Our nurses perform wound care, draw blood, start IVs, maintain urinary catheters, assist with ostomy care and provide education for many kinds of patients, such as those with illness and accidents, cancer, chronic diseases and childbirth. The goal of the nursing is to help patients maintain health, and to teach patients and families how to take good care of themselves. Physical Therapy
Physical therapists assess and treat people with problems from injury or illness. They develop individual treatment plans that address disorders of nerves and muscles, limits in range of motion, poor balance, weakness, and difficulty walking or getting around. Therapists teach patients exercise plans that may reduce recovery time and help them reach their previous functional level. The goal of physical therapy is to help you rain strength and movement. Occupational THERAPY
Occupational therapists assess and treat patients who had injury or illness leading to limitations in activities of daily living. Occupational Therapy focuses on the restoration of the functional aspects of daily living. This includes training to increase independence in dressing, bathing, combing your hair and other general household activities. Like physical therapists, occupational therapists design treatment plans to help patients reach their highest level of function. The plan has activities that focus on improvement in dressing, bathing, feeding, grooming and hygiene. Speech Therapy
Speech therapy evaluates and treats speech, voice, swallowing and cognitive difficulties caused by strokes, illness, accidents or developmental delays. They also work with family members and other caregivers to provide strategies to facilitate and maintain functional communication. Therapists also help improve swallowing skills and teach strategies to help reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia, and maintain adequate nutrition and hydration. |
