Sr Gail Goffinet - HCS - Home Nursing Services
Your Professional Nurse in your home
Marlothi Home NursingServices is a private practice specialising in low to high intensity nursing care in the comfort of your own home. As a professional qualified nursing sister with over 25 years of experience Gail seeks to provide home care as the alternative to hospitalisation, frail care, rehabilitation or similar facilitation.
Home care nurses provide medical and personal care to individuals who are chronically ill, disabled or suffering from cognitive impairments. They typically work for senior citizens who want to remain at home but need assistance with dressing, bathing and housework. Home care nurses administer medication, monitor vital signs and educate patients on health care.
Observation, Assessment and Treatment
Home care nurses observe and assess the health of their clients. They monitor vitals and reactions to medications and look for changes in behavior and condition. Home care nurses report directly to the client’s physician and family, especially regarding concerns for new medical conditions or worsening health. Some nurses have specialties that allow them to administer treatments, such as therapeutic rehabilitation.
Medication Administration
Home care nurses are licensed and certified; therefore, they can administer medication to patients, including intravenous medications. Nurses are not able to prescribe medications to their patients, though they can alter a patient’s dosage with a physician’s approval.
In-Home Assistance
Home care nurses provide assistance with simple tasks such as bathing, grooming and eating. Some agencies require home care nurses to provide light housekeeping, do laundry and prepare meals for their clients, as well as provide emotional, medical and physical support. Home care nurses are often required to assist patients with toileting, getting in and out of bed and transporting them to and from the house.
