Common Myths About Home Health Care Services.

Home health care services are thought to be a miracle to many home care-seeker/ family members, who have loved ones needing constant care and assistance to complete their daily activities like dressing, eating, bathing, taking medicines etc. However, you will find some people who are concerned/ worried about the idea of having strangers in their home and taking care of their loved one. There are several myths about having healthcare at home which makes this even worse, today we will debunk few of them!

Home care workers don’t care about their patients: Many people believe that a home health care professional is not going to give their loved ones proper care which they deserve. A professional home health care agency like Kankei Care always understands the requirements of the patient before sending a caregiver to a patient's home. Assessment or analyzing the patient's situation gives the agency an opportunity to customize their services to meet patient's particular needs. A professional caregiver always checks for a patient's problems/challenges and try to make them feel as comfortable as possible with their expertise. If you find that you are dissatisfied with the caregiver they sent to help your family member, you have the flexibility to contact the agency and request another home health care worker.

Home care is only for those who are really sick: Medical home health care can be given to a person who is sick or physically injured. However, non-medical home health care is also available for those people who only need some help around the home. This service includes bathing, dressing, light housework, transportation and helping the family member to make a nutritious meal. This is beneficial for both you and your loved one, as you can specify the number of hours each week you want to receive help.

Home care workers exploit the patient and steal from them: You can find a situation where this happens and unfortunately it gives very bad reputation for the caregiver agencies that are honest and caring. This can be avoided by asking how they appoint a caregiver and if they do a proper background check or not. Ask how employees are trained and if they are certified for care giving. Kankei care has supervisors who oversee the job of the caregiver to provide you the best service that you want. 

Having healthcare at home can be expensive: Based on the level of care and how many hours a week you want to get home health care services, it can be much more affordable than a medical institution or assisted living facility.
