What is Specialized Home Health Care?

What Is Specialized Home Health Care From A Professional Perspective?

Are you looking for professionals to take care of your loved one who has special needs? A large percentage of elderly people require at-home care, especially those in recovery or dealing with progressive diseases. 

Here you can learn what specialized home health care for the elderly includes and how your loved ones can benefit from professional services. We’ll clearly define specialized health care so you know exactly what it entails. 

Specialized home health care is available in New York City, NY. But what is specialized home health care, and could it help your elderly loved one in New York?

One of the great things about home health care is that it is an inherently personalized service. There are plenty of great senior care communities in the New York area, and many seniors are happy to get the care they require in these communities.

But this style of living isn’t for everybody. Furthermore, there is a risk that the residents might get lost in the chaos. When you’re just one of the hundreds of residents, it can be difficult to establish a rapport with the caregivers, and you might not get all the care services you want.

This rarely happens with home health care. If a caregiver visits you weekly, daily, or even multiple times a day in your own New York home, they’re going to learn what you need and what attitude you prefer. 

Home health caregivers know exactly what their clients require and when to come to see them. Galaxy Home Care of New York City drafts a personalized plan of care for every one of our clients to ensure they get all the care they need. This is especially helpful for clients with special needs.

Specialized Home Health Care Definition

As for the specialized home health care definition, this is the type of care that is provided to individuals by skilled caregivers depending on their physical, mental, and social needs.

Home care is intended to bring relief to individuals who cannot live on their own and perform daily tasks because of certain diseases, chronic conditions, or disabilities. 

Some of the reasons that require hiring a professional caregiver for an individual include the following:

  • Paralysis and the inability to control limbs;
  • Lack of coordination;
  • Inability to control functions of the body;
  • Inability to eat on their own;
  • The need for rest and special medical procedures due to illness;
  • Surgical recovery;
  • Inability to perform hygiene tasks, get dressed, or use a bathroom on their own.

These are only some of the reasons that require a person to have a professional caregiver at their side to assist them in their daily lives. Some individuals may be confined to bed and require a full range of services. Others may need help with some specific tasks, such as getting injections. 

Each case needs to be discussed separately, and our Galaxy Home Care team can help you choose the right services. It’s important to us that you are satisfied with the services and that your loved one receives the help they need. 

How Specialized Home Health Care Benefit Our Clients

Now that you are familiar with the in-home specialized care definition, let’s look at the peculiarities of these services and the benefits of home senior care.  

Everybody is different. Seniors face a variety of health issues, and they may want or need care due to various reasons. Firstly, it’s significant to recognize that home health care works best when it is tailored to the needs of each client, especially in case of some serious health conditions. 

Seniors in question should work with caregivers who are experienced in helping clients with such conditions. Galaxy Home Care of New York City offers special training to some of our caregivers, so they are highly experienced to help clients with some of these conditions. They include:

  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS – Also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease)
  • Clients who have suffered from a stroke.
  • Clients who have suffered a spine and/or brain injury.
  • Developmental Disabilities
  • Clients who have been injured in a collision or accident.
  • Surgery Patients
  • And more

The goal of specialized care in your home for seniors is to help them with their day-to-day activities and also bring some relief. The services can differ based on each individual case. For instance, a patient may need help moving around the house, using the bathroom, or going to medical appointments. Another person may need assistance when it comes to taking specific pills according to the schedule. 

At-home healthcare specialists can provide the following services:

  • Assist in an individual recover after injury
  • Help to recover after surgeries
  • Provide proper wound care 
  • Administer medications according to the doctor’s prescription
  • Check the health status 
  • Give injections
  • Provide intravenous therapy
  • And more 

Compared to hospice establishments, patients can stay in the comfort of their homes and receive the right treatment. This not only prevents unnecessary stress, but also guarantees a personalized approach. It has also been proven that people recover significantly faster in familiar surroundings. 

Who Can Provide Specialized Home Health Care?

At Galaxy Home Care, we are convinced that specialized care in your home for seniors should be provided only by licensed professionals. It is highly important for the trained caregiver to have experience looking after patients with specific conditions. For instance, if your loved one deals with Alzheimer’s disease, it is essential that they receive skilled care related to a particular disease. 

A caregiver should be aware of all the symptoms and know how to react at any given moment. Also, they should be able to develop the right attitude towards each individual. In this way, people not only receive help, but can also enjoy the benefits of companionship for seniors. Our team of experienced caregivers offers all the necessary services to make sure that a senior person is safe, comfortable, and receives appropriate treatment. 

Similar to choosing a doctor, selecting a caregiver is something that shouldn’t be dealt with carelessly. We believe that specialized home health care means a one-on-one basis, so that every person receives services tailored to their condition, emotional state, and physical needs. And if you get in touch with us, our team will help you find the right solution.

    I can't say enough about the service Ben at Galaxy provided to ensure I had the best care possible for my 89 year old father who had dimentia and also took a fall recently. Ben took the time to really understand our needs as a family, given the challenging circumstances with his recent fall that immobilized my father to a degree. We were given the services of Kalu Odin whom for a month, who took care of my father like he was his own son, and I felt Kalu to be part of the family. He was absolutely attentive in every aspect and truly helped my father's recovery process. He loves what he does, and it shows with his empathy and his diligence with dad, who took a great liking to Kalu. Dad is doing much better, and I attribute that to Kalu ,Ben, and the Galaxy team!

    Galaxy Home Care came into my life when my mother was sent home from a SNF in no shape to be left alone. Ben explained how the agency could help. We have met many kind, caring HHA's. If I ever need to use an agency again, I would definitely contact Galaxy Home Care.

    Wonderful service and great care for elderly. Galaxy Home cares and always avaliable to help. Forever grateful for the work that they do.

    Anastasiya Siniakovich Apr 19, 2022

    Galaxy Home Care is a life savior for our family. My mom suffered a devastating stroke in December rendering her handicapped and unable to live on her own. Navigating the Medicaid/Medicare maze became my full time job yielding very little results. If it wasn’t for the super knowledgeable, compassionate and overall professional Galaxy team, I still would have no dependable home care solution for my mom. They jumped through so many hoops and made everything work. Finally, somebody had my back! Thanks to Galaxy Home Care, they found a perfect home attendant for my mom, guided me through securing supplemental at-home services for her, and continue to provide lots of support and guidance as we move forward. Thank you, Galaxy Home Care!

    Anya Boroditsky Apr 19, 2022

    When your close elderly family members are in need of daily assistance, often we are not prepared for all the red tape, financial and personal decisions that come with it. Galaxy has been caring, professional and very accommodating with all of our requests. We feel very fortunate to be able to work with them.
