Why Choose Home Care?
There’s nothing quite like the comfort and convenience of home. In fact, many physicians now agree that patients recuperate better in their own homes, surrounded by family members, belongings, pets, and friends! Family & Friends. Bringing health care home keeps families together by allowing individuals to enjoy higher quality home lives with family and friends. Home care also provides family members with needed respite and, most of all, the comfort of knowing their loved ones are receiving the care they require. Comfort & Independence. Home care clients receive care at home instead of experiencing an extended hospital stay or a move to a nursing home. Home care also provides privacy and independence to individuals as they receive one-on-one attention and more personalized care. Available Resources & Convenience. Recent advances in medical and communications technologies makes remaining independent at home more feasible than ever. For example, trained nurses can monitor chronic conditions through telemonitoring or, with Oxford’s Lifeline, clients can call for help anytime with just the press of a button. Today, health care professionals can provide advanced treatments, medications and therapies to a variety of patients in the home. Cost-Effectiveness. Another benefit of home care is often in financial savings. Home care is much more affordable than a lengthy hospital stay and, in most cases, more affordable than a nursing home. Home care can offer substantial savings to the patient, family, government agency or the patient’s insurer—without sacrificing quality of care. Think of this: If you had a choice, wouldn’t you rather stay in your home, rather than someone else’s home, a hospital or a nursing home? Now, more than ever, you have a choice. When it’s time to choose your home care provider, choose the leader: Oxford HealthCare.
