Prioritizing Palliative Care at Home With Emoha
Palliative care at home involves a team effort for making the lives of such patients and their families better. It includes all those actions and treatments that are needed to make sure the patient suffers the least. This care includes management of pain and other physical symptoms with the regular treatment that has to happen anyway.
Through Teamwork
Palliative care is a collective effort of the doctors, nurses, attendants, the patient's family, and the patient to make the patient healthier. The primary role in this is played by nurses/caregivers. They stay beside the elder - 24/7 if the elder requires - and take care of almost every need of the patient.
Through Effective Management of Symptoms
One of the worst parts of every illness is the symptoms. These symptoms can reduce the quality of life for the elder to a great extent. For example, not being able to sleep properly may make the elder more irritated. It may worsen the other symptoms. Sleep also heals, so not sleeping will hinder the process of healing. It may even promote depression. You see, just one symptom, if not managed, may lead to a lot of trouble. Other common symptoms that need to be taken care of can be nausea, indigestion, fatigue, breathing problems, etc.
Through Holistic Care
The treatment of every illness happens because of the body. The doctors only help the body treat itself. But an ill mind, negativity around, or a bad diet and a lack of movement can make it difficult for the body to heal itself. These may damage more cells in the body than repairing the old ones. That’s why holistic health i.e., mental, emotional, and physical health - should be a priority during palliative care nursing.
Through Well-Trained & Compassionate Caregivers
Palliative care at home is all about improving the quality of life for the elder going through an awful phase of health. If the nurse or caregiver in charge of the elder, isn't well trained, compassionate, empathetic, and obedient enough to follow protocols, then it may only bring more troubles for the patient. That’s why Emoha promises nurses who know how to serve the elder the best way and most humanely.
Through Timely Care and Prompt Emergency Response
At times, there may come an emergency. The nurses at Emoha have complete training on how to respond in such situations. Also, if the back end team notices any out of control health parameters through the telemonitoring device, they notify the nurses and doctors in charge immediately. However, this rarely is the case. That's because the nurses know how to monitor and evaluate the elder’s condition in a timely manner so that no emergency arises.
