The low down on Home Health Care:
The best elder care solution is when your parents get the required support in a friendly and familiar environment and what can be more ideal than their own home? So whether it is help in applying new bandages after a surgery or administering I.V. fluids or just help with daily walks in the park, the health care professionals will come to the house and provide the required service. They also usually have portable and non-portable medical diagnostic equipment that can be hooked up at your parent’s home.
Quality elder care solution providers also usually offer optional services such as 24 x 7 medical care, emergency medical care, nursing support, professional massage therapists, professional psychotherapist, medical escort services and so on. If your parents need to go on a holiday but require weekly dialysis, the elder care solution providers will make the arrangements. They offer a lot of optional services and will usually go the extra mile in customizing services. So if your parents need a particular type of service that is not mentioned in their brochure, feel free to discuss it with the representative. Of course as with all services, quality elder care solutions too come with a price tag.
The cost of home based quality elder care solution depends on the nature of support that is required. A once-a-week check-in would be at the lower end of the cost scale. The cost would progressively escalate if:
a) The frequency or number of visits per week increases
b) The nature of support requires highly trained professionals (for example psychotherapist or registered nurses with specific experience)
c) On site medical equipment is required such as oxygen tents or monitoring equipment.
d) Regular visits by physicians
e) Visits by medical super specialists
At the onset, elder care solution providers will usually send out an experienced social worker to your parent’s house. He (or she) will assess the level of support required (at no charge) and provide you a feedback as well as report to the elder care solution provider. It might be a good idea to discuss any special needs with the social worker and a representative of the elder care solution provider.
Finally, before you sign on the dotted line, ask questions. If in doubt, seek the opinions of social workers or friends who might have used these services. If you don’t understand any of the terms used, request that it be explained to you and above all, read the fine print understanding the costs that might be involved. Remember that quality elder care solution providers and the social worker will answer all your questions.
Unless you have reason not to, you should trust the judgment of the social worker. The social worker will be responsible for monitoring all home care support. Quality elder care solution providers also usually arrange for wellness nurse visits or physician visits and can work in tandem with case managers.

The problem is not “free health care”. There is no such thing. The problem is requiring everyone to pay for something YOU don’t want. I have spent my life living and eating healthy so that I don’t get sick. I have not been sick in 10 years. The health bill that is being proposed in Washington means that I and every person who spends their own hard earned money to not get sick and not need to pay for healthcare, now have to pay for the healthcare of all those who have taken no such responsability
The problem is government involvement in health care (through the tax system giving incentives towards an employer-based insurance system, the FDA, etc.). Whether it is the FDA suppression of natural prevention and cures or the promotion of Pharma “medicine”, it is clear that the solution is not going to come from the government, and if they get involved even more than they are now, they only stand to make things worse.
The problam is government interferance and conflict of interest in health care. I mean, how can a government be allowed to represent health care issues for the american people” when the government itself is heavily invested in the pharmaceutical companies owned and regulated by the same banks it represents and works for?????????????
keep dreaming that something might change. the people that make billions of dollars are so freaking scary that i doubt obama or the american congress have balls big enough to stand up to these people. they don’t care what you think – they agree with you but they are so freaking scared that something might happen to them or their family that they will never do anything like destroy FDA, FDC, and pharmaceutical companies. that GUY at the top of this business will get really ticked off and boom…
Daily suffering has been allowed to develop since the 1930′s. We the people have allowed it to grow to the volume it has.
All of the players mentioned have been very instrumental in removing billions of population in our world through planned approaches and guess what it is working and the suffering is catastrophic.
Exactly! The FDA are whores for big pharma! Disgraceful!
This is full of more demands for bans, requirements and government regulation than we have now!! Just different ones. More bureaucratic intervention on his terms. The proper way to eat and the need for exercise has been drummed into us already—we’ve heard it all our lives. It’s not new—many of us just ignore it. How can you make people do it?. As to mandatory vaccines, how many of us would have gotten polio, smallpox, etc., if they hadn’t been mandatory.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is so true in all aspects of life. Examples: Instead of new energy sources; what about just drastically conserving practices
24 out of 25 of the most industrialsed nations have Universal Health Care. It is far far cheaper to adminster and means that every sick person is treated. I have to say that we in Britain found it highly amusing to see people marching in Washington demanding NOT to have free health care.
