Let’s talk about in home medical care.
Many people have concerns and discomforts that need medical support. It may be something small, like a slight pain that they want to talk about or a mole they want to show someone. It may be something more serious, like an issue with a person’s medicine, or an illness that seems to be getting worse.
Right now, obtaining support for that medical care can be very difficult. Setting an appointment requires calling the office during normal business hours, trying to talk to a person, and working with your schedule and there’s to find a rare opening where you can drive to the office, wait in the waiting room for a potentially long period of time, and then quickly receive medical support.
It’s a process that can possibly take days to weeks, and one that can be uncomfortable and frustrating at times. Your medical care is supposed to be something that helps you stay physically and mentally healthier, and our traditional way of looking at medical care doesn’t seem to do that.
In Home Medical Care
In home medical care is much different. There is no waiting room because you’re at home, able to enjoy activities that you have available (watching TV, reading a book, working on the garden, taking a nap) or keep working until your provider gets there. Once they have arrived, there is no waiting. Your care starts right away, and then continues for as long as you need.
Because you’re at home, you can show your provider things in peace and feel more comfortable sharing your issues. Seeing you in your home can also provide insight for the practitioner, because sometimes, the way people feel in a medical office surrounded by other people can affect how the diagnosis is made and how accurate it is. Seeing how you live, how you act in your home, how you look when you’re in a comfortable place, and more can all support better medical care.
