Adult Care

Personal Care is one of the most important responsibilities we have in taking care of ourselves, especially as adults. As we get older or become ill, doing things like clothing oneself, other grooming activities, or even everyday physical activities become too difficult, for some. Therefore, Specialized Adult Care, Inc. providers has taken the role to provide loving care and support to the patient, as well as, relief and assistance to the family caregivers.

If parents are expected to help dress the person you ask him to come twice a day. It should also be clear to parents that must be present during the time that the patient is bathing. If the patient does not need to be bathed every day, which should also be clear and caregivers should be asked to come on only certain days of the week. Learn more about the health of older people.

The Toilet
Children, old or injured, nearly all patients need help with this problem. Adult Care must be present when the patient needs it. Not only is it necessary for comfort, but also for hygiene.

Medical Care

This is a key Adult Care job. Parents should be fully aware of the medical history and current health status of the patient. Parents should be advised by your doctor about all the things to be observed in the patient, which may include monitoring blood pressure, temperature, once in a while. Medical care also includes the reporting of any ups and downs in the health of the patient to the doctor immediately. Memorial and give drugs to patients at the time, which may also include the application of ointment and dressing, is also an important task for a caregiver.

Household and Transport
Preparing meals, dusting and cleaning the house, change the bedding regularly, laundry, kitchen, reception and sending mails, etc. are the responsibilities of an Adult Care giver as a full-time assistant. In parallel, the patient should be taken wherever and whenever needed. This includes regular visits by the patient in the hospital too. Learn more about the functions of a certified nursing assistant (CNA).

Camaraderie
While this is not a duty, a caregiver who is expected to give the company the patient. The caregiver must ensure that the patient does not feel alone. It can take a stroll in the garden or read aloud, play, etc. It also should help the patient to social events, if necessary. Learn more about patient care.

Some of the tasks parents
There may be other tasks such as shopping for the patient or give a treatment, etc., but it depends from patient to patient. To summarize, I would say the duty of a caregiver to take care and support the total person as a nurse or a mother!

Caregivers

Caregivers from Specialized Adult Care were recommended to Mrs. Smith whom as a result, progressed tremendously and rediscovered her zest for life.

Mrs. Ilene Smith was referred to the caregivers of Specialized Adult Care, last April. She is an 86 year-old widow who suffers from early stages of dementia, as well as arthritis. Ms. Ilene rarely left her bed, better yet, her apartment.

By caregivers from Specialized Adult Care providing daily social interaction, Ms. Ilene began to laugh and was excited to see me walk through her door. Before I knew it, I no longer had to go to her bedroom to talk to her. She would meet me every morning at her front door with a huge smile on her face.

Caregivers provided assistance with daily grooming as well as weekly beauty appointments, daily medication reminders, helped her prepare daily meals and snacks, performed light housekeeping duties, and transported and escorted her to personal appointments.

Throughout the six-month caregiver relationship, Ms. Ilene has progressed far beyond anyone’s expectations.  Ms. Ilene has rediscovered her love of knitting, walking, and shopping that keep her active and social.

Nowadays, many elderly stay on their own. At such times, even if one of them falls ill, it becomes difficult for others to take care of him or her. Not only in this case, but in general also if any family member falls sick and needs extensive medical care, the family members cannot manage this task and that is when a caregiver is hired. The caregiver will stay at your home or stay with the patient for some specific hours, as required.  Specialized Adult Care has excellent caregivers that give the love and attention to the elderly and adult in need of caregivers.
