Why is Home Health so Hard? An Insider's View
Mom needs my help. She has just suffered a small stroke.
After few days in the hospital, and another couple in rehab, she is finally ready to go home. Sure it would have been nice to find out that she was at Mercy Hospital the day she got there but hey, the nurses and doctors were busy helping her right? Her communicative skills were not exactly up to par at that moment do to the stroke. She lives alone so who was left to call me? When I did manage to find her, boy was she relieved! It was lucky for her she had a friend coming over that day. Good thing her friend called fire rescue when mom couldn't get to the phone.
Now she needs services at home.
My first reaction... This should not be too difficult, after all I've noticed we have a bunch of medical facilities around... I am a very capable person... I should be able to get this problem covered in no time at all.
And so the "fun" begins.
If this sounds like a familiar story, you are not alone!
Literally hundreds of thousands of people are going from good health to frail as our population ages. Doctors can "fix" people better than ever, but that has put great pressure on "after care" givers. As our public health plans search for ways to manage this growing need, more and more demand is being placed on home health supportive services. These services are the most preferred, successful way to treat this growing sector of our population, but the increase in demand has created a shortfall in supply, especially when it comes to people servicing patients at home.
This opens the door for technology. In the most recent years there has been an increase in spending on research and development in home assistive equipment or as it's commonly referred to "telemedicine". That's why we carry the full line of personal emergency alert responders on the market (EARS™) . This is the most significant product available today for home health needs. The personal medical alarms we carry at MyEARS.com are high-quality, and happen to be the most affordable systems on the Web!
