Having aged parents at home is a blessing but also a big responsibility for the kids. Especially for kids residing in foreign nations, when their parents are at home, the right healthcare setup is necessary. With our help, you can customise the home, have the right medical equipment, and access emergency services to ensure that your parents are always well-taken care of. 

This can be achieved with proper planning, the right advice, and support from healthcare professionals. Depending on the requirements and current situation, Santokh Home Care can help you build the right setup to ensure your parents’ good health. 

Signs That Your Parents Need Healthcare at Home

It’s important for you to figure out when and how your parents need assistance and expert care. A little effort from your end and our expertise will help your parents stay healthy at a time when they may not always be available. Here are a few things to ascertain the need of home care nursing services or general care at home;

• Diagnosed with an Illness: Several diseases can render your parents dependent on professional assistance. Conditions like Cancer, Arthritis, heart conditions, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, COPD, and respiratory are not self-manageable. 

For these conditions, you need to build the right setup and get professional assistance regularly. With Santokh Care, you can get assistants, nurses, and doctors to visit your parents home and provide the necessary assistance. 

• Rarely Leaving the House: There comes an age when aged individuals don’t like to go outside, even to the doctor. At this stage, forcing them won’t solve the issue. But taking hospital-like care at home is a good solution. 

• They Cannot Maintain the House: For old parents, completing all the chores themselves is not possible. You can always have maids to help your parents, but only if they can be trusted. If you can get trustworthy maids for your parents, it’s great. If not, hire elderly caretakers from Santokh Care. 

We have specially trained assistants to provide the necessary assistance to your parents, as and when required, at affordable prices. Moreover, our assistants possess basic medical training. They can recognise signs of an illness and report the same to your parents doctor. 

• Falling Frequently or Injuring Themselves: When your parents are holding onto furniture or anything stable to balance themselves, it means they need additional support. The elders can choose to not move around much, but that is also not the solution. Hence, their safety and moving around, are both important, which is where a home care professional can help them move around safely and prevent injuries. 

Setup for General Healthcare at Home

Every home with aged parents must have a general medical setup and an environment where they can find the requisite help promptly. 

Essential Medical Devices for Home Care

• Thermometer
• Blood Pressure Monitor
• Pulse Oximeter
• Nebuliser
• Digital Weighing Scale

Make sure you give your parents enough training on how to use and read the results of each device. Choose devices your parents can use easily and are compatible with their age and comprehension capability. 

Help your parents build a habit of taking the readings regularly and keep a record of the same. This will help the doctors at the time of taking the patient’s history get a better overview of the health before coming for a checkup. 

Having the essential medical devices and empowering your parents to build health record-keeping habits will allow them to proactively take care of their health as well. 

Setup for Parents with Chronic Conditions and Illnesses

When facing a serious illness, the medical setup depends on the type and level of condition. However, it is recommended that essential medical devices be available at all times. 

Here’s an overview of the specific setup you need based on the conditions:

• Respiratory Conditions: Parents with respiratory problems and conditions need oxygen support. For them, it’s best to have an oxygen concentrator at home, which collects oxygen from the air and delivers it to the patients.

• Mobility Issues: Conditions like arthritis limit the individual’s movements and ability to balance. Hence, they will need support devices, electric wheelchairs, and hospital beds. These will help them walk/move around and eat and sleep comfortably. 

• Diabetes: For parents with diabetes, it’s necessary to have blood glucose monitors and insulin pumps at home. These devices can prove to be useful in times of emergency and help control sugar levels. 

It’s not feasible to list all the medical devices you need at home to provide quality care to your parents in your absence. However, we can curate a personalised healthcare plan based on your requirements for your parents.
