Homecare for the elderly, frail or disabled all fall under the umbrella of what a professional private home based care nursing agency in South Africa should be able to offer, and CareChamp ticks all these boxes, admirably.
This is not a one-size-fits-all nursing agency, they offer the full range of services anyone living at home or with family could possibly need, such as:
Frail care
Frail care at home adds a sense of comfort that cannot be had in any facility, offering all that is needed to assist frail people at home to carry out tasks they can no longer do alone.
This could involve anything from medication reminders to grooming and bathroom assistance, as well assisting with nutritional needs. If a loved one is bedridden, a caregiver has the training required to assist with relieving pressure that if left unchecked, could lead to bedsores.
A caregiver is able to assist clients with the use of mobility aids on sale or for hire from CareChamp, to keep them as active as possible, while keeping them safe!
If there are exercises that have been planned by a physician, the CareChamp caregiver will be on hand to assist with these exercises to avoid further atrophy to the body.
Managing any accidents or incidents efficiently and effectively is a given for this team of professional caregivers, and the support of a team of registered nurses is always just a call away should it be necessary.
Dementia care
As the most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease is of a level that requires patience and communication on the part of everyone in the family because it really is a life-changing experience, for everyone!
With the assistance of a caregiver trained in dementia care, you’ll have all the help you’ll need to get through watching a beloved parent lose all sense of self and of the people or life around them, because you will need that calibre of support in such deep water.
Taking on the role of a fulltime caregiver to a parent with Alzheimer’s disease is incredibly courageous, but you’re going to need time out sometime to recharge your own batteries, and that’s when you call on CareChamp!
Disabled care
Living with disabilities at home brings many challenges, not the least of which is the need for support to carry out what were once easy activities and day to day chores.
Disability also leaves some people needing help with maintaining daily activities or assistance with personal care and getting around safely, which is the role any CareChamp caregiver is trained to do at an exceptional standard, always respecting the dignity of the client in the process.
CareChamp assistance for disabled adults and children is of such a high standard that it includes experience with tetraplegia and paraplegic people, bringing along with their help an attitude of genuine care and interest in the person facing these challenges.
Post-operative care
The last thing anyone wants is to do anything to cause complications during recovery from an operation, and the only way to ensure this, if you’re on your own during recovery at home, is to contact CareChamp and plan for excellent home post-operative care.
CareChamp will see to the discharge from the hospital, right through to appointments for check-ups, until you are well on your feet. CareChamp professional nurses are also on standby to carry their weight in terms of providing specialised nursing roles that may be required.
