The demand for a qualified live-in caregiver is steadily increasing. It is becoming more difficult for relatives to look after the elderly on their own. Due to their workload, they can only visit them from time to time. Because of this, moving them to a nursing home may seem unethical. In our country, such institutions are just beginning to spread, so their advantages are not yet understood and appreciated. A reliable option is home care with live-in, when a service and supervision specialist is constantly with the person in need of care, ready to respond urgently, to come to the rescue at the right moment.
A 24-hour caregiver is a specialist who provides care, provides assistance to the person in need on a permanent basis, incl. elderly or with significant limitations.
Such specialists live in the same apartment or house where the patient lives. They provide the necessary, prescribed care and support throughout the day and all night.
Is the difference from a standard nurse clear? The services of such a specialist do not simply consist of his arrival for a certain number of hours to perform certain procedures, but namely, his presence around the clock.
A nurse with round-the-clock care is especially important for those suffering from injuries, strokes, dementia, and significant limitations of mobility. With such help, you can not worry that something will happen to your loved one while he is alone. You can continue to maintain the necessary rhythm of life, without introducing any restrictions, without changing jobs, places of study, etc. Those who have encountered such difficulties understand how important and difficult all this is.
Are you worried that such a caregiver will ask for an exorbitant price for her services? You shouldn't… If it were that expensive, people simply wouldn't seek help. Of course, you need to be prepared for certain expenses, but here you should choose what will be more profitable: either the Sidelki24 caregiver selection service and their provision of suitable personnel upon request, or independently performing all the necessary care, but with certain "sacrifices", such as switching to a remote employment format, dismissal, reducing the number of business clients (depending on the type of activity and workload).
A live-in caregiver does a lot of work. In the morning, everything starts with brushing teeth, washing, and other hygiene actions.
Next comes feeding with preliminary preparation. The diet is discussed in advance, is compiled taking into account the health, condition, and other characteristics of the patient. Assistance in terms of movement is provided. Whether in a chair, with a walker, or with support, you need to move. If the patient is motionless, massages and minimal warm-ups are performed. Monitoring of medical indications is mandatory. The nurse measures blood pressure and temperature. If there are certain superficial wounds or injuries, their condition is also checked, treated, and the necessary treatment measures are taken. If necessary, a doctor is called.
The rest of the time, communication occurs. The most important task of such a specialist is to prevent the feeling of loneliness, listen, support, and prevent depression. If the patient has suddenly lost his usual mobility, it is very important to help him psychologically.
It is convenient if the nurse keeps a certain diary during work. It is possible to record the time and amount of medications taken, make notes on the schedule, on procedures, on changes occurring both for the better and for the worse. With the help of detailed information, the doctor who comes from time to time sees the "picture" in detail and in many ways.
It will also be very useful if the live-in nurse for a bedridden patient, in addition to the key one, will also solve problems that improve the patient's life. This means cleaning, cooking, washing, organizing leisure time. Some of the elderly like to listen to reading, some watch TV, some enjoy playing games (for example, playing board games). Conscientious live-in caregivers do a great job of organizing care and creating an atmosphere of support and care.
It is almost impossible to select such a caregiver on your own. Of course, there is a chance that someone you know has had experience receiving such services, but this is not very common. And there are no guarantees when working with a person, so to speak, "off the street". At the very least, it is unreliable.
