What are the benefits of Home nursing services?

There are numerous benefits to using home care nursing and below are just a few:

Familiar surroundings – Having to stay in clinical and unfamiliar hospital surroundings for long can have a negative impact on patients mental health and wellbeing and can actually make them feel worse, leaving them feeling stressed and alone due to their surroundings. This can also be more difficult for family and friends who want to visit them and spend time relaxing with them.

At Health call our In-home nursing care helps provide the patient with the professional medical care that they require but in their own familiar surroundings. Being in the comfortable and know environment of your own home helps the mind relax and relieve stress. Which is better for the patient and those who want to visit them

Promotes healing and reduces the risk of infections – Home nursing care helps to keep the patient protected from possible infections that they are exposed to in hospitals or outside in waiting rooms or moving aroid different wards or clinics. Post-surgery and critical care could leave patients more sensitive to the risk of relapse and infection. At home nursing care can help the patient heal better and faster due to less exposure to infections and quicker reaction time of the nurses caring for the patient.

Medication management – When a patient suffers from various medical ailments then their use of medication tends to increase. With doctors giving different medicines for different problems, prescription management and medication management is extremely important especially in elderly patients or those who get confused while taking medicines. At Health call our nurses assist in ensuring that the correct medications are taken at the correct time to avoid potential health problems for the patient, such as overdose, mixing of medications or missing some medication for a long period of time. Our caring and professional nurses are trained to manage prescriptions and medication to ensure that the patient gets sufficient and correct care and medication at the right time.

How much does it cost?

At Health Call we have a number of prices and packages to suit you, please contact us and we will do our very best to help you. In-hospital care is usually much more expensive and it is not always possible to keep the patient in hospital for a long period of time since it is not cost-effective or ideal for the patent. Our home nursing care provides professional medical care equivalent to hospital nurse standards but to the patient in the comfort of their own home and is highly cost-effective when compared to in-hospital care. It is the ideal solution.
