How to Tell When it May be Time for 24-Hour Home Health Care

It can be difficult to recognize when a loved one requires 24-hour home health care. Family members often find themselves in a challenging position, balancing their loved one's needs with their own responsibilities.

As their advocate, you are essential in tracking changes and starting discussions regarding their care. It's important to handle this matter with consideration and empathy, focusing on their preferences while also making sure they are safe.

Comfort Keepers of Dublin, OH, acknowledges the difficulties you may face, and we are here to help provide guidance and support. Our committed team offers customized care plans designed to meet your loved one’s specific needs, ensuring they get the necessary care 24/7. We can help guide you through this journey so your loved one can live safely and with dignity at home.

What Does 24-Hour Home Health Care Mean?

24-hour home health care is a service that offers constant medical and personal support to individuals in their own homes. It's typically prescribed to patients who need ongoing assistance because of chronic illnesses, disabilities, or recovery from surgery.

Services can involve skilled nursing care, medication reminders, physical therapy, and wound care, all provided by trained professionals such as registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, and home health aides.

What is the Difference Between 24-Hour Home Care and Health Care?

Non-medical 24-hour home care and 24-hour home health care address different needs for individuals who need help at home. At Comfort Keepers, we offer non-medical 24-hour home care that provides personal support and companionship, helping with tasks such as bathing, grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and companionship, among many other benefits.

24-hour home health care includes medical services from licensed health professionals, such as nurses or physical therapists. It is designed for individuals with particular health requirements, such as managing chronic illnesses or undergoing rehabilitation.

Both types of 24-hour care help people in their homes, but non-medical care focuses on daily living activities, while home health care deals with medical needs and treatments.

Things to Pay Attention to in a Loved One

To determine if a loved one requires ongoing, 24/7 care, be on the lookout for the following signs:

  • Changes in weight, hygiene, or frequent bruising 

  • Memory loss, confusion, or trouble with communication

  • Mood swings, such as irritability, depression, or social withdrawal

  • Dependency on others for daily activities such as bathing, toileting, dressing, or cooking

  • Regular accidents or falls at home 

  • Ignoring health needs, like skipping medical appointments, not taking medications, having a poor diet, or overlooking chronic conditions

Looking for these indicators can help you decide if it's the right time to talk about care options and gain a clearer understanding of their needs.
