Services
In a coordinated, team approach, these professionals can deliver in-home health care services such as:
Medical Monitoring
During times when a condition has a likelihood of worsening.
Health Regimen Teaching & Facilitation
This is helpful when your doctor recommends new medications, a change in diet, or exercises. This is also helpful to make sure discharge instructions are followed after a hospitalization or nursing home stay.
Observation & Assessment
To keep an experienced eye on patients when their condition has a likelihood of exacerbation. To provide peace of mind for patients who would otherwise need to make frequent calls to their doctors or visit the emergency room after hours.
Medical Reconciliation
Various studies show that 30% to 70% of patients returning home from the hospital or nursing home have important medication discrepancies. Whether it’s taking meds the doctors didn’t know about, failing to take meds the doctors prescribed, or misunderstanding the dosage or frequency of the meds prescribed, medication discrepancies pose a serious risk to patients. This is especially true for patients over the age of 65 who usually take longer to recover, are more vulnerable to the problems caused by medication discrepancies, and are more inclined to medication discrepancies due to the number of meds they are taking. Signal Health Group nurses can make multiple visits to the homes of patients to support patients in adhering to the doctors’ plan.
Fall Injury Prevention Program
If you or someone you care about has experienced an accidental fall in the past year, there is a higher likelihood of a fall injury in the coming year. Signal Health Group’s fall injury prevention program combines the services of therapists and nurses to improve gait, improve home safety, review meds, and more.
Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation
To provide new rehabilitation or complete in-patient rehabilitation after a coronary or pulmonary event such as a heart attack or flare up of COPD.
Neurological Rehabilitation
To improve function especially after a stroke or to combat Parkinson’s.
Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Especially after orthopedic surgery for a hip replacement, knee replacement, or shoulder repair.
Injections
To deliver medications when a patient is unable.
