A Caregiver’s Point of View… My scariest day at work....

Today in the office we were talking about how over the years some of our cases hit us harder than others. I recapped my many years working with children, the homeless, mentally disturbed individuals, and the elderly…and realized there was only one case which shook me. Funny to think a kind elderly man was the hardest, scariest and heart-wrenching case I have ever had. One of my colleagues look confused and said, “really? It wasn’t when you worked for that other company with that crazy guy, that stabbed you in the leg with a steak knife?” Hard to believe a 300lb grown man stabbing me in the leg was less scary than walking in and finding an elder man in need of great help.

Hospice Care is designed to give supportive care to people and their families in the final phase of a terminal illness and focuses on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure.

Hospice is based upon the belief that each person has the right to die pain free and with dignity, and that families will receive the necessary support to allow this. 3. What is Hospice responsible for? Equipment may include: Oxygen tank Portable O2 Concentrators Bedside Commodes Infection control items IV ...

The Private Home Care, Inc. Difference

The last three weeks we have been talking about making choices for you or your loved one’s care. Whether you are looking for in-home care or at a facility to do the care. There are a lot of choices out there and you should be careful which choice you go with. PHCI is not here to say that in-home care is better than facility care, we are here to talk about what makes Private Home Care, Inc. different from facility care and other in-home care agencies. If a facility is the best placement for you or your loved one, then let PHCI help with check-ins. PHCI goes into nursing homes and assisted living facilities to check in on clients. We have several clients who reside in a nursing home, but the family has hired PHCI to take their loved one to the hairdresser every week or go in and play a game of Yahtzee a few times a week. We take our time and get to kno...
