Recovery from surgery, a stroke, or cancer treatment is often overwhelming to adults of any age. They may have multiple medications to take and manage at a time when they feel their worst. If they have memory loss, the situation can become more challenging and even dangerous. Your loved one may not be able to figure out instructions or remember what it is the doctor told them to do. You or your loved one needs to follow the doctor’s orders to the last detail for an effective recovery. It isn’t unusual for adults and seniors to have problems keeping up with their medications and follow-up doctor appointments. Some types of post-care also call for additional treatments or therapy sessions. All Heart Home Care™ offers recovery home care in San Diego to help recovering patients get the medicine and rest they need. A caregiver can remind them to take prescriptions at the proper time.

Our in-home team can help prevent you or your loved one from ending up back in the hospital or taking a lot longer to get well. All Heart Home Care offers the non-medical care that often follows unexpected surgery, a cancer diagnosis, elective surgery, or a stroke. Our caregivers understand how stressful it can be for a patient who is unable to care for themselves. The situation can also cause a great deal of stress on their family members.

Stroke Recovery Home Care

All Heart Home Care offers recovery home care for victims of a stroke throughout the Greater San Diego area. A stroke is the most likely cause of long-term disability in the US. Every 40 seconds, someone in this country has a stroke. When a stroke patient survives, they may undergo a number of challenges. The physical limitations caused by the stroke can also cause emotional and behavioral changes to occur. They often feel lost and alone. The impact of a stroke can make it difficult to impossible to deal with everyday tasks. If they are unable to recover, they are at risk of losing their independence. Nothing is more frightening to an adult than thinking that they may never be able to take care of themselves again.

Adapting at Home After a Stroke

A person who survives a stroke is just getting started at facing new challenges. Every person may differ in their symptoms. Some will have problems with balance or coordination. They may have paralysis or numbness on one side of their body or problems controlling their bladder or bowels. Other symptoms include memory problems or thinking. Overcoming these problems can take a lifetime.

Recovery from a stroke may include increasing strength and regaining independence. Many people just want to return to their homes and the lives they led prior to having a stroke. The process they go through can be both physically and mentally challenging. It isn’t surprising that they can endure a lot of emotional difficulties due to their condition and the stress it places on them.

Safety-Proofing a Home after a Stroke

Cancer Recovery Home Care

No other diagnosis brings about the kind of fear as that of cancer. There are many types of cancer. Each kind exhibits its own unique set of symptoms and behaviors. There are also different types of treatments that produce different types of side-effects. Many cancer patients go back and forth between home and the hospital during the course of their disease. No matter what kind of cancer you or your loved one has, you can count on home care to be a part of most types of cancer treatment. All Heart Home Care offers the range of home care services in San Diego to meet the needs of any cancer patient.

Companionship

Companionship is one of the most essential services our caregivers provide to cancer patients. All Heart Home Care will optimize our services to meet your specific needs. Our caregivers are highly trained to help cancer patients keep their spirits high throughout the treatment and recovery process.

We understand that it is important to our client’s recovery to keep both body and mind in good health. The caregivers from All Heart Home Care accomplish this by providing stimulating, intellectual conversation, help in choosing and reading thought-provoking or entertaining books, mental awareness stimulation, and making and building puzzles. Our caregivers have a diversity of interests and areas of expertise. Conversing with them is enjoyable and stimulating.

We understand the valuable role of friends and family members in the cancer patient’s life. For many, the effects of cancer treatments make it difficult to spend quality time with those people they care the most about.

Our caregivers will help you plan get-togethers, schedule meetings, and plan events with friends and family. The All Heart Home Care team makes it possible to keep the people you care about close and enjoy activities with them that you want to share.

Household and Personal Care

Once you have made the decision to have recovery home care, the next step is to develop a personal care plan. We will work with you and your loved ones to design a plan which includes all the services you will need. Some of the services to consider are:

  • On-call Nurse for overseeing and managing your home care recovery process
  • Assistance with daily activities like dressing, bathing, and toilet use when the side-effects of treatment interrupt your routine. Some treatments cause nausea, vomiting, fever, and fatigue.
  • Upkeep or maintenance for home appliances
  • Pet care
  • Plant care

These are just some of the personalized care options offered at All Heart Home Care. Our caregivers will also assist you with chores like vacuuming, meal preparation, laundry, shopping, and more.

Transportation Assistance

Most cancer patients find it difficult to drive to the doctor’s office or clinic. It is often even more challenging to drive after treatment. Some patients will be unable to drive at all while they are in treatment or even for some time afterward.

Our caregivers can provide transportation to the social activities that you are no longer able to drive to on your own. They will take you to church services, drive you to appointments, and assist you with errands. You don’t have to stay at home just because you can’t drive. Our caregivers will provide you with transportation to:

  • Grocery Shopping
  • Appointments at the Salon or the Doctor’s Office
  • Family Events
  • Special Occasions
  • Religious Services
  • Club Meetings
