ONE-ON-ONE HOSPITAL SITTER / FACILITY COMPANION

Hospital Sitters and Facility Companions can play a vital role in helping your elderly or senior family member recover and be discharged home from the hospital sooner.

By providing one-on-one care, they provide needed encouragement, companionship, distraction from negative thoughts and motivation when you can’t be at their bedside.

The extra attention and support ensures your family member will return home faster and stronger.

AGE RELATED HEALTH CONDITIONS

As aging adults grow older, chronic illness and naturally diminishing health pave the way for more frequent doctor and hospital visits – sometimes just for a regular check-up and other times for more serious cases such as diagnosis or screening for an emerging illness or scheduled surgery.

Common Age Related Health Issues:

• Hip, Knee or Joint Replacement Surgery
• Pneumonia
• COPD
• Diabetic Complications
• Heart Disease
• Stroke or Heart Attack
• Broken Bones Due to Falls
• Poor Nutrition

TYPES OF HEALTH CARE CENTERS

There are many types of health care centers and facilities your loved one may be admitted to. Depending on their specific health condition and care plan, they may be transferred from a hospital to:

• Skilled Nursing Facility
• Convalescent or Nursing Home
• Assisted Living Community

A-1 Home Care Agency can arrange a professional and caring Home Health Aide, Caregiver, Nurse Aide Hospital Sitter, Companion or Personal Care Attendant for your loved one at any of these facilities.

While Assisted Living Communities do employ personal care aides, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of seniors that require additional assistance and support. Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Facilities are understaffed and overworked and cannot provide one-on-one care to every resident. Your loved one will have their needs scheduled along with all the other residents needing assistance.

They won’t be able to start their day when they want or follow their own daily routines. This can be very frustrating for someone who is used to being independent.

All care providers are carefully screened, providing you with quality assistance and peace of mind.
