How We Benefit Your Patients

Benefit_675x380Healthcare providers who treat elderly patients are sometimes hesitant to discuss home health resources when the patient’s challenges are not strictly medical. Providers may note that elderly patients are losing weight, having trouble taking medications properly, or experiencing recurring falls. Many times, the patient is in denial which makes the conversation about their long-term plan to deal with declining health all the more difficult. In situations such as these, giving a patient all of their options can empower the patient and their family to make an informed decision. Home health care is a viable option for many individuals. Just Like Family is just a phone call away and we would be happy to review a patient’s options with them.

During a free in-home assessment, Just Like Family can sit down with your patient, review their needs, and develop a personalized Plan of Care to provide each patient with the support they need to continue living independently. Offering services such as medication reminders, vitals monitoring, and assistance with all activities of daily living, we have come to find that our services are capable of meeting and exceeding most needs.

Another difficult discussion that many doctors may need to have with their patients is the need for the patient to stop driving. For many elderly individuals giving up their car keys is one of the hardest things to do, but being aware of the alternatives available to them can help to ease this transition from driver to passenger. Just Like Family is happy to assist with any transportation needs that your patients may require. Aides are frequently requested to provide transportation to doctor’s appointments, provide assistance running errands, and often accompany our clients to social outings.

The JLF Experience

Dear Just Like Family,

This letter is to thank you for all that you have done for my mother. Your company “Just Like Family” has demonstrated over and over that you are not “just a business” and that your staff were not just “doing their jobs.” Every person on your staff has truly cared for my mother’s wellbeing. The caregivers from Just Like Family were so pleasant and kind to her! It was such a blessing to me when I would walk unannounced into my mom’s home, and hear the lovely and cheerful manner in which your staff spoke to her.

You staff did much work above and beyond their “duties.” It was obvious to me that your staff was doing the “extra” things because they sincerely cared about my mother, about her quality of life, about her medical safety, and her emotional wellbeing. I would enter mom’s home to find your caregivers working hard to keep her home clean and tidy. I would notice they were doing extra tasks, such as helping my mother go through her clothing and determine what could be given to charity or kept. Sometimes I would find them clearing out some of the garbage, junk, and clutter in the home’s unused rooms and this was all a lot of hard work!

When my brother passed away, your caregivers were incredibly kind, compassionate, and helpful. Your company name “Just Like Family” was consistently reflected in their attitudes and actions during that terrible time. They were sad about his passing, and they were clearly even sadder for my mother, again, because they truly cared.

I want to send high praises to all of your caregivers and your office staff was always efficient, concerned, and professional. Your staff embodied the following characteristics: skillfulness in caregiving, sincerity, patience, knowledge of geriatric issues, respect, kindness, compassion, mindfulness, alertness, and caring. By the way, these were extended to the treatment of my brother. The words are not sufficient, but all of those who cared about my mother know what your staff did and we are grateful.

I will recommend your agency to anyone in need of skilled, professional in-home services that come with a bonus package of caring and integrity.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you.

Very Sincerely Yours,

RMU
