The number one benefit of home health care is that it allows patients to receive personal care in the privacy and comfort of their own homes. For aging and homebound individuals, home base nursing care assists in facilitating patients in remaining as functional and independent as possible as well as providing a much higher sense of security and dignity. Receiving home base care nursing helps to reduce avoidable re-admissions to the hospital, and studies have shown that patients recuperating from illness, injury, or surgical procedures heal more quickly and more successfully when recovering at home versus in a medical facility.
Nursing Services of the North offers a wide range of health care services that can be given in your home for an illness, post operative or injury. Home base health care is usually less expensive, more convenient than and just as effective as care you get in a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF).
The primary benefits of home base nursing care include:
- Delivered in the comfort of the patient’s home
- Easier for family and friends to visit
- Promotes healing and provides more safety from infections
- Allows more freedom and independence
- More affordable than inpatient care
- Tailored to the needs of each individual patient
- Reduces re-hospitalizations
- Home base care nursing plays a beneficial role in patient care.
