Our home health aides visit patients in their respective homes to monitor their condition by observing physical and mental condition, intake and output, and exercise. We support them by providing housekeeping and laundry services, shopping for food and other household requirements, preparing and serving meals and snacks and running errands.
Home health aides of Dunn-Harris Healthcare Services also help family members care for the patient by teaching appropriate ways to lift, turn, and reposition the patient, advising on nutrition, cleanliness, and housekeeping.
We also record patient information by making entries in the patient journal and notify the nursing supervisor of changing or unusual conditions. We maintain a safe, secure, and healthy patient environment by following asepsis standards and procedures.
