Home Care and Caring
Home care is becoming an ever increasing need for families:
This comes from multiple factors including:
- Geriatric care managers who can help in the decision making process for families
- Better recognition of the needs of patients receiving more intense medical care
- The tendency of acute care facilities to release patients from their facilities due to the demands of the government and private insurance carriers
- The fact that patients are living longer and developing 'treatable diseases' at an older age with increasing infermity and inability to withstand the rigors of many medical treatment programs.
