Holidays at Home

As the holiday season approaches, many patients needing long-term care or rehab assistance may feel isolated. Imagine it’s Christmas Eve, and a patient recovering from surgery is alone, unable to attend their family’s holiday gatherings. Sending photos and videos can help a little bit — but it’s never the same. The same goes for patients in hospice care who are facing terminal illness.

For your patients in these scenarios, keeping patients at home for the holidays is an utmost priority. With our team, medical professionals can keep patients at home during the holidays so their loved ones can surround them. Keep reading below to explore how hospice and home health care can help your patients feel safe in their home environment.

Home Health Care During the Holiday Season

Home Health Care can help your patients recovering from surgery or an illness, or help those with chronic conditions receive ongoing care in the comfort of their own homes. Our home healthcare service is an especially great option for patients who wish to remain at home for the holidays. Instead of feeling isolated in a hospital or healthcare setting, we take the care they need directly to them.

During the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, many patients recovering from an illness or suffering from chronic ailments cannot safely travel to the houses of friends and family. As such, this means many family members come to them, sacrificing their normal holiday plans.

Instead, home health care can offer a solution to help the whole family, creating a memorable and enjoyable holiday season. This is especially important for patients who may be suffering from mental illnesses, such as chronic depression.

Home Hospice Care

For patients with terminal illnesses, every day is special as time is limited. Patients on hospice care in healthcare facilities may feel especially isolated during the holiday season, even when family members come to visit them. Choosing home hospice care can help ease the holiday blues, creating a more comfortable and “holiday-inspired” atmosphere.

The inside of healthcare facilities often lacks the holiday joy that those in hospice care need during the season. Instead, patients’ mood and overall outlook can be improved by enjoying a holiday season at home, complete with decorations and memories.

Enjoying the holiday season at home can provide a sense of normalcy for patients in hospice care, creating memories for the whole family. We offer personalized hospice care to meet each patient’s individual needs and deliver a focused care plan that supports a patient’s dignity and preferences. Our exceptional staff meets the physical and emotional needs of patients, which can help reduce the loneliness and anxiety that is common during the holiday season.

Keeping Patients Safe at Home

Keeping your patients at home during the holiday season is especially important. With the help of our hospice care and home health care, patients recovering from surgeries or illnesses or those on hospice can enjoy family holiday events in a place they feel most comfortable.

With our help, keeping your patients safe in their home environment is possible. Reach out to us today to learn more about how we can work together to improve this holiday season for your patients.
