Description
Coming home after major surgery, or a serious injury can be fearful and very challenging, especially if the doctor decides to discharge you with equipment attached that you thought was only used in the hospital. Today, patients are sent home with intravenous tubes, drains tubes coming out of their chest, and other special wound care equipment. Having the best health care even when one is home is very important. This book is written to help you to select the best home health care agency for you. It first looks at what is to be considered when one is selecting an agency. It addresses the importance of selecting the agency before one has a need. It also addresses some of the ways individuals go about making this most important decision, such as selecting based on religious affiliation, or by recommendations. Then it focuses on what is to be reviewed about the agency, such as the different types of medical staff hired to address your needs, how they treat their staff, does your opinion create change in how the agency provides care, does the agency have a live person answering the telephone when you call, does the agency respect your rights, are the staff competent, are there specialized programs with hired experts in the field, years in the business, and is the agency Christ centered. This book wants to help you to make this very important decision, before you are in need.
