Is Home Nursing Care Safe During Covid?

Our lives may revolve around the Covid-19 pandemic as we try to navigate this difficult time, but that doesn’t mean the need for nursing care has gone away. In fact, during a public health crisis, it is more important than ever to ensure you receive the proper care for whatever you need, even if it is unrelated to Covid-19.

Moreover, because we should try to stay at home whenever possible (and because receiving care at home allows you to avoid the stress of going in public during the pandemic), receiving nursing care in the comfort of your home is ideal.

But that begs the question: Is home nursing care safe during Covid? In this article, we will discuss what to look for while seeking home care to ensure you receive your care safely.

What to Look for While Receiving Home Nursing Care During Covid:

Receiving home nursing care during Covid may sound risky, but receiving home care can actually be even safer than going to a hospital or doctor’s office. While looking for safe in-home nursing care during the Covid era, be sure to do the following:

  • Seek Excellent Communicators: Seeking good communicators for in-home nursing care is always important, but it is even more so during Covid. Since you must be able to trust your caregivers that they are being careful while not at your home, you need to be able to communicate with them effectively. In other words, you need to be able to clearly and concisely communicate your concerns and they must be able to clearly and concisely communicate the precautions they take. As Covid-19 can be dangerous for most people requiring home care, it is crucial to be able to communicate clearly with your caregivers.
  • Make Sure Your Caregivers Have a Comprehensive Plan: We recommend calling any prospective caregiver to go over every detail of their Covid protocols. Make sure you are comfortable with everything they do to avoid the spread of disease. Also, make sure their plan aligns with CDC recommendations.
  • Seek Testimonials: One of the best ways to ensure credibility and trust is to make sure your caregivers have a track record of success. Read through your caregivers’ reviews on Google and their website to ensure they have experience providing excellent care. If possible, try to get a referral as well.

Detox at Home During Covid

,

Detox is the first stage in the addiction treatment and recovery process because your body must rid itself of all toxins associated with a drug or alcohol addiction before you can begin your long-term treatment. And while many people go through their detox at a care facility or hospital, we recommend looking into home detox, as detoxing from home is more comfortable and just as effective.

Going through detox at home is even more important as we attempt to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic. This article discusses three of the most important reasons to receive your detox treatment at home during the pandemic as opposed to at a treatment center.

Three Reasons to Detox From Home During Covid-19:

  1. It’s More Comfortable: The Covid era is stressful enough as it is, so why add stress by having to check into a hospital or treatment center for your detox? Since you can receive high-quality detox care from the comfort of your home, we recommend avoiding the unnecessary stress of going to a facility.
  1. It’s Safer: While it is important for everyone to stay home as much as possible during the pandemic, it is even more important for those with compromised immune systems. And for those suffering from drug or alcohol addiction, your immune systems are already compromised trying to fight those addictions. So, we recommend playing it safe and receiving your treatment from home.
  1. Your Family Can Support You: By staying at home, you can begin your recovery with your family and friends close by. If you go to a treatment center, it will be much more difficult to see your family given the numerous Covid-related restrictions in place. Recovering with your family close by is much more comfortable and less stressful, leading to another good reason to detox from home.

As you consider your detox options, remember that nobody is “too sick” to detox from home. In fact, detoxing from home helps relieve the added stress that comes with more severe drug or alcohol addiction cases, as you avoid crowded hospitals and treatment centers.
