Services

Personal care is the form of care necessary to carry out daily tasks and personal hygiene for the elderly. When their physical and health conditions restrict them from effectively performing their routines, we can actively assist them and provide support, especially in Activities of Daily Living and hygiene-related tasks, such as:

• Bathing, Toileting, and Peri Care
• Dressing
• Transfer and Ambulation
• Feeding
• Oral care
• Foot Care
• Skin Care

Depending on the needs of elderly care recipients or as indicated in their individual care plan, our personal support may extend to complicated tasks, such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication assistance, exercise supervision, and companionship.

When outside the hospital or skilled nursing facility, the services of a registered nurse are commonly the most frequent and highest form of clinical attention accessible to elderly patients. The multifaceted work of registered nurses allows them to cover different aspects of the health concerns of homebound patients.

At Alice Advanced Healthcare Services, experienced and trained registered nurses coordinate with physicians and families to effectively take care of elderly patients. They serve one patient at a time and take note of details that indicate the health status of patients. Seniors who have been discharged from hospitals or receiving continued treatment for chronic conditions may rest easy knowing that a competent clinical professional is monitoring their recovery.

Some of the services a registered nurse covers are:

• Overseeing case management
• Administering IV medications
• Coordinating care plans with patients and their families
• Perform physical assessments
• Perform intubation, catheter maintenance, ostomy care, and overseeing medical devices
• Rehabilitative care

In our journey to provide the best care possible, we work jointly with other community health providers to match our care recipients with suitable treatments. With this, we establish links with rehabilitative care providers, such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists to deliver the required skilled care for elderly patients.

Elderly patients receive different kinds of wounds depending on their physical experience. However, the wounds being treated by nursing professionals in the home health care setting are those that may cause infections and endanger lives when left untreated and not regularly cleaned. Some of these wounds are in the form of:

• Surgical wounds
• Pressure ulcers
• Foot ulcers
• Vascular leg ulcers

To facilitate treatment and minimize infections, nurses implement regular wound care schedules to personally check and treat wounds. Wound care treatment often goes beyond simple dressing and bandaging. Depending on physician recommendation, elderly patients may need to receive oral or intravenous medications to promote healing.

Registered nurses at Alice Advanced Healthcare Services primarily provide skilled nursing assistance to elderly patients. Their experience and skills make it possible to render a wide range of clinical care, monitor the health progress of patients, and report observations to the clinical team.

Home health aides have the task of assisting elderly patients in carrying out daily tasks and maintaining hygiene. While they do not have in-depth clinical experience, they work under the supervision of nurses and keep observation records of patient status. They ensure that elderly care recipients are safe and comfortable in their homes.
