At Dunn-Harris Healthcare Services, our dedicated home health aides provide personalized care for patients in the comfort of their own homes. They closely monitor physical and mental well-being, track intake and output, and encourage exercise. Our support extends beyond just health monitoring; we also offer essential services like housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and errand running to help create a nurturing home environment.
Understanding that family involvement is crucial, our home health aides also empower family members by teaching safe lifting, turning, and repositioning techniques, along with guidance on nutrition, hygiene, and household management.
We keep thorough records in each patient’s journal, documenting any changes in their condition and promptly notifying nursing supervisors of any unusual observations. Our commitment to maintaining a safe, secure, and healthy environment means we adhere to strict asepsis standards and procedures.
