Home health care services help clients stay safe, healthy, and happy in their homes. Ideal Home Care Services provides individuals in Long Island, New York, with skilled nursing and personal care services. For clients who need additional ongoing support, we offer extended services including medication and blood pressure management.
Medication Management Program
If you or a loved one takes multiple medications, it is crucial to keep prescriptions organized and filled and ensure that each dosage is correct. For older adults, it can be a challenge to keep track of many medications at once.
Ideal Home Care Services’ Medication Management Program provides peace of mind for clients and their family members. This service:
- Ensures safety and efficacy
- Confirms adherence to prescription instructions, such as taking medication with food
- Helps reduce the risk of errors or missed doses
The registered nurses (RNs) at Ideal Home Care Services will meet with a client (and their family members if needed) to review all the medications the client is taking and answer any questions they may have. Each nurse on our team is trained to recognize potential medication side effects or other problems that arise when a client’s medication plan changes. They also can serve as a liaison between clients, their healthcare providers, and their pharmacists, helping to coordinate care and reduce miscommunications.
Blood Pressure Management Program
As we age, one of the health indicators it’s important to monitor is blood pressure. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can be a serious health risk for older adults. A wide range of factors can contribute to high blood pressure, such as:
- Lack of exercise
- Changes in diet
- Stress
- Chronic health conditions
- Certain medications
Ideal Home Care Services offers a Blood Pressure Management Program to provide ongoing tracking of this critical vital sign. In addition to regular blood pressure readings, our care providers can educate clients about modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors:
- Modifiable risk factors: These are factors that can be changed to help manage high blood pressure, such as the foods someone eats or the amount of exercise they get.
- Non-modifiable risk factors: These are factors that cannot be altered, such as age and family history.
When needed, we also can report blood pressure readings to you or your loved one’s primary care provider.
