Home Care Path "As Needed Status"

The senior was discharged from the hospital to home following treatment for a fall. Home Care Path staff came to the seniors home daily for a period of two weeks. Home Care Path staff helped with dressing, bathing, toileting, meals, laundry, ambulation, and garbage out. The tasks Home Care Path staff performed were helpful to the senior as well as the spouse. This extra assistance helped keep the spouse from getting run down.

The senior has gotten stronger and the family will now try a period without Home Care Path staff visiting. Home Care Path places the family on "As Needed Status". The senior is now in our system and staff can make visits as needed.

Later in the week the spouse calls to schedule staff to come and spend an afternoon with the senior so she can run some important errands. Available staff come in to assist the senior and the spouse is able to run the errands. The household remains on "As Needed Status" and the spouse reports a sense of security with having someone to contact when needed.
