I can provide daily, weekly or monthly preparation and/or administration of oral or injection medications, including observation of the patient for any adverse reactions or side effects due to the medications. I will coordinate the medication management with the pharmacy and physicians, including ordering, pickup and delivery of medications as needed.

Private Duty in Hospital Care

While hospitalized I can provide additional observation and care at the bedside of the patient. I will work with hospital staff to provide an optimally safe and effective course of care.  In the absence of family or other caregivers, I can be the liaison for the family and the health care team providing timely updates and information.

Post Hospitalization Care at Home

Whether the patient has just had a day surgery procedure or has spent an extended amount of time in the hospital, I am able to provide additional private duty care in the home. I can provide transportation from the hospital to the home and assure a smooth transition back into the home. Using my extensive homecare experience I can coordinate and oversee the necessary health care services such as Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, etc.

Postpartum/Newborn Care at Home

I have over 19 years of newborn/pediatric experience to offer, including well baby care as well as care of the critically ill infant or child. I can help transition the new infant into the family, assisting the parents by reducing the stress and anxiety of a new baby at home. I can stay and care for your sick child in the home when you are unable to stay home from your work or other commitments. Besides care for the infant or child, I can also provide additional assistance for the family including help with breast feeding problems, postpartum issues and other care needs following delivery.

Personal Assistance

Bathing and dressing are difficult tasks for many and can compromise the safety of the patient. I am able to maximize safety and efficient use of the patient's health resources for their personal care needs. This can include showering, bathing, hair care, dressing, as well as skin care management and overall assessment. 

Respite Care

For those who are the caregiver of a loved one, I can provide relief for the caregiver so that they can take the time needed for themselves to maintain their maximum level of functioning. When you need to run some errands, take in a movie, spend some quiet time away, I can facilitate that by caring for you loved one while you are away.

Lab Work Drawn

Often times it is difficult to get the patient to the doctor's office or lab for the ordered tests. With a doctor's order, I can come to the home and draw the appropriate lab specimens and deliver them to either a local lab or the doctor's office.

Overnight Care

If night time hours are becoming more difficult and unsafe for your loved one, I can provide the appropriate observational skills and overnight care required to keep the patient safe and secure in their home.

Medical Appointment Assistance

Doctor appointments can be difficult to get to and overwhelming for the patient to prepare for and manage. I can assist them in preparation for the appointment as well as transport them to and from the appointment, provide appropriate information to the doctor, interpret the doctor's assessment and recommendations, assist with obtaining any prescribed medications and make appropriate follow-up plans. I can also notify any additional caregivers and/or family members of the outcome of the visit.

Air Travel Assistance

When a loved one is unable to travel alone but still wishes to be mobile, I can accompany them to their destination. I can  provide any needed nursing care during travel including medication and/or oxygen management, ambulation assistance as well as general observation during the flight.
