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,

When we were notified that we were approved to have a caregiver for my mother during her chemotherapy treatment, I had no idea what to expect. I hoped and prayed for someone who would be dependable and kind to my mother. My hopes and prayers were not only answered, but exceeded beyond anything I could have hoped for!

I can’t express my gratitude enough for everything that the aide did for my mother. It was easy to tell that it was more than just a job for her. Her kindness and strength, along with her charm and wit, won my mother over immediately, even though she had been resistant to the idea of having a “stranger” in her house. The aide quickly proved to be not only a friend, but truly a member of our family as well. Her devotion to, and concern for, my mother was boundless. I never had to worry about my mother’s physical or emotional well-being while I was at work.

I will never forget how grief-stricken the aide was when we had to take my mother to the hospital. When mom was sent home to live with my husband, son, and I under hospice visits, the aide was right there to pick up where she left off — showering my mom with not only care, but loving concern as well. I used to tease the aide that some mornings my mom seemed more excited to see her than me!

When we lost my sweet, brave mother, the aide was one of the first people we notified. On the evening of my mother’s memorial service, I looked up and there the aide was coming to see our family and give her condolences.

I will never forget the love and care that Kay gave to my mother during the last and most difficult months of her life. She was truly “just like family” and I can honestly say that my husband and I truly miss her! What a wonderful asset she is to your organization. If any of my friends or relatives are ever in need of a similar service, I would recommend “Just Like Family” in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much for providing this service, and thank you so much for the wonderful aide you assigned to my mother. She was truly mother’s guardian angel!

 

Sincerely,

LF
