As our loved ones age, they may need more specialized healthcare to stay safe and healthy at home. ABL Homecare is dedicated to providing compassionate skilled nursing services in Massachusetts. With our mission of “Supporting Families at Home,” we aim to offer seniors the care they need in the comfort of their own homes. In this blog, we’ll explore what skilled nursing services are and how they benefit seniors and their families.
What Are Skilled Nursing Services?
Skilled nursing services are healthcare services provided by licensed nurses and therapists at home. These services are essential for seniors who need professional medical care, but prefer to stay out of hospitals or nursing homes. ABL Homecare offers skilled nursing services that help seniors manage their health and maintain a high quality of life without leaving home.
Skilled Nursing Services Provided by ABL Homecare
At ABL Homecare, we offer a variety of skilled nursing services tailored to the needs of each senior. Here’s an overview of the key services we provide:
1. Medication Management
For seniors taking multiple medications, managing them correctly can be challenging. Our skilled nurses help seniors take the right medications at the right times, reducing the risk of mistakes and keeping them on track with their health plans.
2. Psychiatric Nursing
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Our psychiatric nurses specialize in helping seniors manage conditions like anxiety, depression, and dementia. They offer emotional support and medical expertise to improve seniors’ mental well-being.
3. Coumadin (Warfarin) Management
Seniors taking blood thinners like Coumadin need careful monitoring to avoid complications. ABL Homecare’s skilled nurses ensure the correct dosage and provide regular checkups, helping to prevent adverse reactions and keep seniors safe.
4. Physical Therapy
After surgery or injury, seniors often need help regaining their strength and mobility. Our physical therapists work with seniors to create personalized exercise programs that help improve balance, mobility, and overall physical health. This therapy is crucial in reducing the risk of falls and promoting independence.
5. Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on helping seniors with everyday tasks, such as dressing, bathing, and cooking. Our occupational therapists teach seniors new ways to stay independent and adapt to physical limitations, improving their ability to live safely at home.
6. Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)
Our skilled nursing team includes registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) who provide essential healthcare services. These services include wound care, IV therapy, monitoring vital signs, and more. With RNs and LPNs from ABL Homecare, seniors receive personalized, high-quality medical care right at home.
7. Home Health Aide Assistants
In addition to skilled nursing, we also provide Home Health Aide Assistants who help seniors with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. These aides work closely with skilled nurses to ensure all aspects of a senior’s care are addressed.
