At the core of Riverview Home Care's offerings is an integrated approach to home health services. Nurses are responsible for conducting free assessments in the home, meticulously evaluating each client's unique needs. They coordinate every aspect of patient care, ensuring all services are tailored and delivered efficiently. Nurses are also adept at drawing samples for laboratory testing, setting up and monitoring medications, providing health education, and offering teaching to both clients and their families. When advanced medical care is needed, they perform specialized treatments such as sterile dressing changes, administration of IV antibiotics, and management of parenteral and enteral nutrition.
Supporting the work of the nurses, home health aides deliver essential personal care to clients. These aides, always working under nursing supervision, assist with bathing, help with prescribed exercises, prepare meals, facilitate safe transfers and ambulation, and handle tasks like laundry and light housekeeping. Their support ensures that clients can maintain dignity and independence while receiving necessary day-to-day assistance.
Riverview Home Care also features a robust therapy program aimed at restoring and enhancing quality of life. Physical therapy staff play a key role in helping clients regain or improve mobility by focusing on exercises that strengthen muscle function and promote independence in walking. They empower clients to readjust to daily activities and make use of adaptive equipment or treatments to mitigate pain and increase functional capacity. For clients experiencing difficulties with communication or swallowing, speech and language pathologists offer assessments and targeted interventions that help improve communication skills and swallowing abilities, thereby supporting greater independence in the home.
Understanding that complex health needs often extend beyond physical challenges, Riverview Home Care provides access to medical social workers. These professionals assist clients and families in navigating community resources, offering guidance and counseling to address social and emotional issues related to health. Their involvement ensures that families receive holistic support as they adapt to new health circumstances.
To further enhance its service delivery, Riverview Home Care offers clients access to a full-service pharmacy. Nurses provide important information on drug and food interactions and educate clients about their medications, enabling them to manage their treatments effectively and safely. By coordinating all aspects of medication management, the agency promotes greater health outcomes and peace of mind for clients and their families.
Riverview Home Care's home health services can be funded through various sources, ensuring accessibility for individuals with different types of insurance coverage. The agency is equipped to handle payment directly from providers, streamlining the process for clients so that they can focus on recovery and well-being.
Through its comprehensive array of nursing, personal care, therapy, social work, and pharmacy services, Riverview Home Care remains a vital resource for those who wish to receive quality medical care and support within the comfort of their own homes.
