Nursing services are becoming more and more common for patients with severe nursing needs. These types of nursing include assisting elders with dementia, Alzheimer’s and other disabilities that may impair communication or self treatment. Nursing the elderly is becoming more common as the population is getting older. The elderly community is expected to double in size until 2050 and apparently, the need for these services will grow in the future. Nursing is a profession that requires skills, knowledge, experience and compassion. These skills are most important, especially when applied to nursing services to severe cases.
What are severe nursing services?
Severe nursing services are nursing services administered to elders in complicated nursing situations who have difficulty to communicate and treat themselves. To treat them, there is a need for close and personal nurses to administer the care needed. This is to allow for routine tests, taking medicine, bandaging and assisting with various actions. Nursing services to severe patients are intended mainly for elders and chronic patients with severe difficulties. These services can be given at hospitals, rehabilitation facilities or private homes.
The advantages of treatment in a nursing home
As stated, severe nursing cases can be treated in the hospital, as well as at home. However, both these options include noticeable disadvantages. Treatment at home requires hiring a caretaker that will work at full capacity. On the other hand, in a hospital, the patient may be neglected due to lack in available nurses. However, a nursing home has a few advantages in this respect.
- A caring treatment from a personal caretaker – severe patients who are treated in a nursing home are provided with a close and personal caretaker who takes care of all their needs during the day as well as the night.
- Keeping the dignity of the patients – Nursing homes hire only licensed and experienced caretakers that are skilled with treating the elderly and know how to treat and assist while keeping the dignity of the patient.
- High quality of living – nursing homes allow even severe patients to enjoy a satisfying life quality. The patients enjoy walks with their personal caretaker as well as activities that are conducted in the home, as much as possible.
- Rich social life – even in cases that require severe nursing services, there is no need to give up totally on social life. In nursing homes, even patients in a severe state can enjoy social activities and participate in social meetings.
- Healthy and varied nutrition – a well-balanced and rich nutrition is the basis for healthy living. This fact is true double-fold with severe patients. In a nursing home, the patients will receive varied and rich meals every day.
