While the idea of home healthcare might be intimidating – it is often mistakenly seen as a step away from self-reliance – we at Norwill Healthcare Services do our best to help determine what tools are needed to help our clients maintain their independence as much as possible.
Often as a referral, a nurse will evaluate new clients to help determine what tools may be needed to help them maintain that independence, acting as an assistive device.
A full house evaluation - especially targeting potential fall hotspots such as a home’s entry, the bathroom, and the bedroom - can help determine which tools can best assist clients. For example, bath chairs or benches can help clients with tasks as simple, yet as vital, as having a bath.
We promote you being as independent as possible, augmenting what services family members are able to provide.
In addition to offering a respite for caregivers, one of the biggest benefits of home healthcare is providing companionship to clients, easing the loneliness that often comes with aging.
