Home health care is a safe and cost-effective solution for patients while staying in the comfort of their own homes.

Our treatment protocol & services are always customized as per the requirements of the patients based upon the thorough assessment conducted by a certified nurse.

The frequency of the visits depends upon the patient’s needs and treatment plan.

All our nurses are professionally certified & equipped to handle all medical situations. Most of our nurses have experience in Intensive Care Units (ICU).

The duties & responsibilities of Medical social workers are manifold and include helping patients and their families cope with the emotional & social responses to illness & treatment.

You may require wound care in the following situations:

• Non-healing wounds or wounds that haven’t improved over two weeks.

• Wounds that have worsened, and you need a new treatment plan.

• Complex wound care needs.

• Special catheters.

• Complicated treatment orders.

• New Stage III and IV pressure ulcers.

• Needs for preventative skin measures (e.g., appropriate support surface, moisture management).

• Wounds as a result of certain medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.

The dressing should be changed as often as required to keep the wound drainage from soaking the gauze. This could mean anywhere between 1 to 4 times a day. In certain cases, the frequency could be more.

There are several factors that slow wound healing including poor nutrition, obesity, smoking, bacteria, certain diseases such as diabetes or diseases of the liver, kidney, or lungs etc.

A wound puts extra pressure on your body. Therefore more calories and nutrients are required to accelerate the healing process. A good diet is a pre-requisite for faster healing. Your Health Care provider will educate you on your nutritional requirements, as per the situation.

Wound dressings fasten the body’s natural healing process and provide an optimal healing environment. The choice of dressing depends on the wound’s features and stage of healing. Appropriate dressing selection is decided by the certified wound care provider as per the requirements.

Yes, everyone benefits from physical therapy in varying degrees. The combined efforts of the therapist and the patient deliver results as per the medical condition of the patient.

Physical therapy is different for older adults as their various medical conditions and challenges warrant modifications in the therapy process. The time taken to recover is slower. We ensure the recovery of older adults gradually over a period of time.

Physical therapy is beneficial for a wide range of issues such as:

• Pain relief.

• Improve movement or ability.

• Prevent disability or surgery.

• Rehabilitation after a stroke, accident, injury, joint replacement, or surgery.

• Improving balance and fall prevention.

• Managing a chronic illness like diabetes, heart disease, or arthritis

• Adapting to an artificial limb.

• Learning to use assistive devices.

• Recovering from or prevent sports injuries.

• Managing age-related conditions such as Arthritis or Osteoporosis.

The six main types of Physical Therapy:

• Pediatric Physical Therapy

• Geriatric Physical Therapy

• Orthopedic Physical Therapy

• Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy

• Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy

• Neurological Physical Therapy

Our physical therapists undergo rigorous training and obtain certifications, which give them the experience and education to provide the highest standards of care. The therapy plan is aimed at recovery or improving physical abilities as well as protection against future injuries.

Occupational therapy is beneficial for a wide range of issues such as:

• Preventing repeated hospitalization.

• Regaining independence after injuries, illnesses or surgeries.

• Improving memory & cognitive skills.

• Finding meaningful employment as a result of disability.

• Coping with chronic pain.

• Adaptive equipment and home modifications.

• Increasing strength and endurance for functional tasks.

• Improving functional cognition and visual processing.

Initial evaluation & assessment lasts about 60 minutes, with subsequent visits generally lasting 30-45 minutes.

In order for the therapy process to be a success, be aware, and ask pertinent questions. Discuss aspects that will impact your therapy process if it hasn’t been raised by the therapist. If there is something you do not understand, ask.

The primary goals of therapy are to encourage, sustain & restore functional independence in daily living skills.

Physical therapists treat limited parts of the human body that need care while occupational therapists focus on the patient’s entire well being. Occupational therapy is broad-based, encompassing, and holistic in its approach. Choosing the type of therapy depends on your specific condition and individual needs.
