Nursing
Sunshine Homecare’s nurses are licensed and skilled in geriatrics, adult and pediatric care. The nurses commence a client’s service with a visit to observe the patient, make an assessment of the patient’s needs, and prepare a Plan of Care. The services provided by Sunshine’s Registered Nurses (RNs) include: post-op, ventilator and wound care, IV and Nutritional Support Therapy, tube feeding, tracheostomy, and pain and medication management. In addition to respite care and care for special needs Sunshine‘s nurses serve patients with an array of medical conditions.
Benefits of Senior Home Care in Manhattan & Westchester, NY
Keep Some Independence: Senior home care allows your loved one to remain independent in certain aspects of their lives. Senior home care allows nurses to come and care for seniors in their homes, so they don’t have to live in a nursing home. Having your own home makes you feel independent as it is, but being able to still do things around town and in your home definitely does as well.
Stay Connected to Loved Ones: Many nursing homes and facilities have limited visiting hours and can vary daily. Hiring a senior home care nurse means that your loved one can still live in their home, and have visitors whenever they want to.
Personalized Care: Nurses at nursing homes and care facilities have an array of patients they have to care for while they are working. This can sometimes mean a patient will not receive the specialized care they need or not as timely as they should. Senior home care nurses are hired to care for your loved one only during the specific time they are at their home. This means personalized care plans will be made and followed diligently.
