At Vital Home Care Solutions, we understand that providing optimal home health care for an aging loved one starts with a detailed geriatric assessment. This multidimensional evaluation examines physical health, cognition, and functional abilities, helping our team determine the best approach for personalized home care. By identifying capabilities and limitations, we can design short-term and long-term care plans, recommend rehabilitative services, and provide ongoing support tailored to each client’s needs.
A comprehensive geriatric assessment may include:
- Physical health and current medical conditions
- Cognitive function and memory evaluation
- Emotional well-being and social engagement
- Mobility, balance, and fall risk assessment
- Nutritional habits and dietary needs
- Living environment and family support
- Rehabilitative needs and disease risk factors
- Daily activity capabilities, including medication management, meal preparation, and household tasks
These evaluations allow our home health care professionals, in collaboration with doctors and therapists, to create a complete care strategy. At Vital Home Care Solutions, licensed and certified nurses also consider exercise routines, sleep patterns, recreational activities, and overall safety to ensure optimal independence and quality of life for our clients.
