Pneumonia is a serious lung disease, especially for seniors with weakened immune systems.  Many seniors will end up hospitalized if they contract pneumonia, but home care is vital once they are discharged back home.  At Assisting Hands Broomfield, our goal is to prevent our clients from being readmitted to the hospital for any illness so we train our caregivers in the following areas.

• We reinforce medical instructions and ensure that our clients understand symptom management and the importance of hydration, nutrition, and rest.
• Medication Management. Caregivers oversee medication adherence with reminders to ensure compliance.
• Post-Discharge Support. We stay in contact with the client’s medical care team, address client concerns, and monitor their progress.
• Social Support and Resources. Assisting Hands can provide transportation to follow-up doctor visits and connect clients with community resources that can help ensure a smooth recovery.

Home care is a powerful tool to help clients recover from hospitalizations and illnesses and return to their normal activities.  If a loved one is currently in the hospital, give us a call to talk about what resources we can provide to ensure safety and quality of life.
