We know the challenges that a family faces when a loved one is in the hospital, particularly if that individual needs constant observation and care. You want to be there every minute, but it’s just not possible. That’s why Caring Assist Home Healthcare offers a hospital sitter services. Our professional and trustworthy caregivers are available to sit with you or your loved one in hospitals/medical facilities, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and residences for as long as necessary.
Our staff will help the client remain calm and safe by supporting their needs as they cope with limitations such as poor eyesight, hearing loss or cognitive decline. We will assist with personal care, encourage feedings and proper hydration, take notes during medical staff visits and relay that information to the family, as well as keeping the family informed of the clients status and alerting them should a problem arise.
