In McKinney, TX, the largest group of individuals receiving informal home health care consists of senior adults with chronic health problems or disabilities. Their caregivers are often middle-aged adult children or spouses who are typically called “family caregivers”. Those are separate and not the same as “professional” caregivers – At Care Mountain, the average professional caregiver is about 45 years, has been a professional caregiver for over 15 years and has typically specialized in one or more areas like dementia or Alzheimer’s care, or post stroke recovery care. They have also had a lot more experience working with mobility equipment like hoyer lifts, sit to stand lifts, and are typically quite experienced in taking patient vitals like blood pressure, blood sugar, maintaining medication logs and working closely with skilled care professionals like nurses and therapists in the Care Mountain team.
To care for a patient at home in McKinney, TX, it is advisable to limit the number of caregivers, ideally assigning a person in good health without risk factors. Avoid extra visits, limit patient movement outside their room, and minimize the use of shared spaces such as the kitchen or bathroom. It is also considered optimal to have the same, steady caregiver taking care of a patient – frequent changes of caregivers limits quality of care, trust building and a deeper bond forming between the client and caregiver.
