Many people prefer to receive personal care at home. Patients who enter hospice care stay in bed most of the time but still have to use facilities at home. And that is why we need to prep it up for their convenience.
There are things to consider for home care in Marlborough, Massachusetts when you have a loved one who needs hospice care — room arrangement, safety, cleanliness, and organization.
- Room arrangement
The room must be wide enough for the viability of ease of movement, home care services, and the placement of medical equipment such as oxygen tanks and feeding equipment. The room must have appropriate lighting and air circulation and be free of noise as much as possible.
- Safety
Install handrails and grab bars in the bathroom and the stairs. There should be non-slip mats, shower stools, and removable shower heads to be handicap accessible.
- Cleanliness and organization
De-clutter your homes of items with sharp edges and heavy objects. Your loved one will need plenty of room to move using a walker or a wheelchair or to rely on mobility assistance from a caregiver.
