Genuine Health Delivers The Next Level Of Care








Short Term Care
Short Term Care
Short term care may last between a few hours to a few months. When a client requires short term care, they will receive the same help as our clients who require long term care. Generally, the care is provided on a temporary basis as the client may be recovering from surgery, treatable injury or illness such as pneumonia. In situations like this, home care is beneficial as it allows the client to return to their activities of daily living at a quicker rate than if they were to recover on their own. The care that a short term client may require outside of the “typical” long term services are likely to include assistance with wound assessment, dressing changes, IV medication administration, temporary around the clock vitals assessing, etc.
A Genuine Health RN assessment and care plan is completed on initial consult, with an RN to follow up daily/weekly to modify the care plan and create nursing goals for the client. Goals are specific, measurable and have attainable key metrics:
- Constant communication with the client on their progress, and reaffirming progress with the nursing staff and their primary care providers (Physicians, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, etc.), can be as little as one day of assistance
- Health promotion – self promotion – informing the client of their next steps for gaining independence in their recovery
- Setting goals/timelines
- Client accountability

Long Term Care
Long term care services are most often for clients with chronic and/or progressive conditions, such as a spinal cord injury, a debilitating stroke, ALS, etc. In instances such as these, regular assistance and care are required. Typically, a client’s need for care is likely to increase if their condition is one that is likely to cause a decline in their health. Most family members would prefer to have their loved ones remain as family, rather than developing a caregiver/client relationship. Bathing your spouse or parent seems like a basic task; but adjusting a feeding tube, monitoring wound care and assisting with elimination is more than families feel like they can adapt to while still maintaining a loving and lasting relationship with their loved one.
- Client accountability/self advocacy with primary caregivers
- Home care and RN involved with the client’s primary care providers
- Maintaining the ability to live independently while receiving home care to assist with ADL’s
- Assisting the client to avoid hospitalization or admission to LTC/institution – constant monitoring, infection control, skin assessments, health promotion, etc.
- Maintaining quality control and client safety
- Being aware of psychosocial effects with long term/chronic ailments – being sensitive and empathetic towards such ailments
- Long term goals vs short term goals (acute)
- Family involvement (where applicable)
- Promoting client optimal level of well being
- Respecting the client’s family/social life, while still providing personal, efficient and effective care
