PATIENTS AND FAMILY

Your Trusted Home Healthcare Services

When you or a family member have been recently discharged from the hospital, are suffering from a chronic illness, have a change in health or require some additional services at home, we are the trusted care you need

Family members, friends and neighbors make up the vast caregiver population in the U.S. - a group that is estimated to number about 65 million people or 29 percent of the adult population, according to the National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA).

The NFCA reports that the average caregiver is a 49-year-old married woman with a career, who spends about 20 hours per week providing unpaid care to her 69-year-old mother. About 66 percent of caregivers are women, and 37 percent are also caring for children or grandchildren who live with them. While women make up a majority of caregivers, middle-aged adults tend to also take on the role most often, with most between the ages of 35 and 64.

While caregiving can be a fulfilling role for many family members or friends, the responsibilities can become overwhelming, especially when caregivers are shouldering the entire job themselves. We may be able to assist you. Just give us a call and speak with one of our staff at (313) 592-1517.

Health Resources and Information

To promote an overall healthy and independent lifestyle, we work to empower our patients to monitor and manage their own health. There are many ways you can become an empowered healthcare consumer. Start by becoming more familiar with the healthcare treatment options in your area, from Physicians to hospitals, urgent care clinics and home healthcare agencies. Patients who are actively engaged in their own health care are more likely to stay healthy and manage their conditions.

Asking questions and providing information to your doctor and other care providers can improve your care. Quality health care is a team effort. You play an important role. Your questions give your doctor and health care team important information about you. That is why you should always be diligent and speak up.
