When it comes to caring for a loved one, navigating through all the home care options can feel overwhelming, right? But don’t worry—Avanta Home Health is here to make it easier and a little more fun! Let’s break it down, so you can choose the perfect care option tailored to your family’s needs.
Step 1: Know What’s Out There
At Avanta, we offer two primary types of care—Personal Care and Skilled Nursing Care. Both are designed to keep your loved one safe and happy, but which is the right fit?
Personal Care
Personal Care is all about non-medical assistance. Think of it as the superheroes of everyday life! Our Home Health Aides (HHAs) provide personalized care that includes helping with activities like:
Dressing and grooming
Bathing
Meal prep
Medication reminders
Companionship for those social butterflies
These services ensure your loved one can maintain their dignity and independence while getting the support they need for daily activities.
Skilled Nursing Care
On the other hand, if your loved one needs medical attention, Skilled Nursing Care is where it’s at! Our licensed nurses step in to handle things like:
Post-surgical care
Complex medication management (like IV therapy)
Wound care
Chronic disease management
This type of care is perfect for those who need regular, professional medical support at home.
Step 2: Assess Your Loved One’s Needs
So, how do you know which is the right fit? Here’s a fun checklist:
Are they struggling with basic self-care but are medically stable? ➡️ Personal Care
Do they need help with things like injections, physical therapy, or wound dressing? ➡️ Skilled Nursing Care
Don’t stress about figuring it all out on your own. At Avanta, we offer complimentary care assessments to guide you in making the right choice.
Step 3: Keep it Personal—Because That’s What Matters Most!
We know that trust is everything. Whether it’s Personal Care or Skilled Nursing, we’re committed to providing compassionate, personalized care. Our team goes the extra mile to ensure your loved one feels supported every step of the way, and our family-oriented approach is what sets Avanta apart.
