We assess your healthcare needs and discuss how we can help.
Get Paired with an HCA or LPN
We base it on location, needs, and personal preferences.
When returning from the hospital
Going from 24/7 assistance to being alone can be unsafe and scary. LPNs and HCAs can help you cope with your return and set you up for a speedy recovery.
When you or your loved one has an unexpected fall
Daily check-ins, company, accompaniment to medical appointments, driver to go to social activities, errands, help around the house, presence when contractors come in (landscape, electricians, plumbers, etc.), assistance with activities of daily living, regular home risk consultations, and help with technology.
When independence is at stake
Respite for the primary caregiver, help around the house, companionship during social activities, intellectual stimulation, transportation to and from a day program, and guidance for the senior living with dementia to assist with chores.
When care is becoming too much for the primary caregiver
If family caregivers are increasingly frustrated and tired or hurt themselves, there are now two clients. We can care for the household and assist with chores to alleviate stress and give everyone time to enjoy each other’s company!
When the primary caregiver is going away
Ohana Care can send caregivers for short-term contracts as well.
When learning of a new diagnosis or going through new treatments
New medications can sometimes lead to unwanted side effects, and conducting daily wellness checks may not be feasible. Our LPNs and HCAs can provide assistance by monitoring your vitals, skin, moods, balance, and more. Additionally, they are equipped to provide care if you have severe nausea, get very weak, are at risk of falling, or if your judgment is impeded.
We’re registered with the Veterans Affairs for health services, Veterans Respite, and Veterans Independence Program.
Typically, a Health Care Aide will spend more time with clients, getting them ready in the morning, assisting with breakfast, and providing medication reminders. Our Health Care Aides also support our client's quality of life by changing bedding, doing laundry, respecting their regular routine, and being a companion.
Health Care Aides also serve as companions when clients experience “Unscheduled Care Needs,” which refers to requiring assistance throughout the day that cannot be scheduled. These needs include incontinence, transfers, asthma pumps, PRN medication (aches, diarrhea, constipation, headaches), and more.
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) primarily concentrate on the medical aspects of client care. Their visits may be as brief as one hour, during which they ensure there aren’t any significant changes in the client’s health, verify that HCAs are adhering to the care plan, assist with more complex care needs, and assess the client’s overall well-being. LPNs may only visit clients immediately following their discharge from the hospital or when implementing a new care plan.
In our initial meeting, we will collaboratively assess what suits you and your family best. We will consider factors such as gender, medical conditions, and any additional requirements. If at any point you are dissatisfied with the caregiver entering your home, please let us know as soon as possible. It's important you feel safe and respected and know you are in control of the situation.
We charge for a minimum of four hours, but we encourage you to make the most of this time. During this period, we can perform a home safety check, wash the dishes, fold laundry, inspect items in the refrigerator to ensure they haven’t expired, assist with phone calls, help type emails, and other basic care needs. However, some exceptions may apply to the minimum hours. Book your free consultation to find out more.
We provide real-time web access to your care information from anywhere, on any device, through our Family Portal. You can add as many people as you want to have access to your full schedule of visits, care team, care plan, visit update and invoices. To learn all about our Family Portal, click here.
You can also call or email your Care Manager at any time to discuss.
