Seasons of Care offers a variety of helpful home care options
By Tricia Schaum, Season of Care
Everyone has the right to choose how he or she wants to be cared for. And when the time comes, most people are not prepared because they don’t know what their options are.
I started Seasons of Care, a Medicare certified home care, 18 years ago for very personal reasons. My family began its journey into home care over 40 years ago because my mother suffered from multiple sclerosis.
Like most families, we did not know about home care, let alone what questions to ask. Every week, people call Seasons of Care because their lives are turned upside down due to a drastic change in their parents’ health.
Mom and Dad can be enjoying their golden years until a stroke, heart attack, fall or serious illness changes their lives overnight—and now they need help.
Hospital recovery time can be several days followed by a few weeks of rehabilitation. Then, it is time to return home to continue the recovery process.
Sometimes a parent is discharged directly from the hospital to home with little notice. The family must make important home health care decisions with no time to plan. This transition is a critical time to get prepared to care for a loved one.
When a person is being discharged from a hospital or rehab facility, he or she usually needs home health care to assist with recuperation and rehabilitation.
Ask your discharge planner what your loved one needs to fully recuperate. If home care services are needed, you have the right to choose a Medicare certified company to provide nursing and therapy at home. Just tell the discharge planner which Medicare company you want to provide services.
Our clients often choose Seasons of Care because we not only provide nursing and therapy in the home, but we also provide additional personal care services. Our aides help our clients with bathing, meals, laundry, medications, errands, housekeeping and more when a loved one can’t be there to help. Services range from a few hours to around-the-clock care.
Seasons of Care accepts Traditional Medicare, Medicaid, long-term insurance and private pay clients. For more information, visit SeasonsofCare.com or call 440-274-4000.
