Get That Greater Quality Of Life Using The Services Of Private Nurse NYC

By Tammie Caldwell


Private health-care givers are employed quite often for a number of different reasons. Private nurse NYC are used especially in the fields of paediatrics and frail care. For example they might be needed to take care of patients with Cerebral Palsy or Traumatic Brain Injury or nurse frail people in their final years.

Such health-care professionals must be highly trained and motivated professionals as many of their clients would be on apparatus such as ventilators and Gastronomy tubes. By seeing to these patients at their homes these live-ins don't only prolong their patients lives but they improve the quality of them as well.

Private health-care givers are normally registered or Licensed Vocational Nurses. As their work demands they are often self-employed. Like many other entrepreneurs they work on a contractual basis. Sometimes they will do non health-care related work - that is, if needs be.

In general people, especially the elderly, are happier being nursed or seen to in their own homes where they are surrounded by family and friends. This also helps for their dignity and privacy to be respected. For these and other reasons a live-in is an attractive option for both young and old patients alike.

Such live-in care givers can look after individuals with medical needs or elderly people with frail care needs or couples with such aforementioned needs. Their contracts can be short - as little as 4 days or they can be for a longer period of time - months and even years. In the later case this would be if continuity of care is needed.

These health-care professionals can perform several roles. Firstly they can provide respite care - where a caregiver or family member needs a break from looking after a patient. Secondly they can perform rehabilitative work for people requiring nursing after surgery or an illness. Lastly they can provide palliative/end of life care for patients who want to stay in the comfort of their own homes.

Certain chronic conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer as well as strokes need for more long term care. In these cases they are contracted for longer periods or terms. Furthermore conditions such as Multiple Scleroses require for more long term care. Lastly, as mentioned earlier if frail care is required these professionals might be hired for a longer period of time providing such invaluable care to the elderly who can not provide such care for themselves.

Nobody enjoys hospitals (or at least most people don't). Being nursed back to health in the comfort of your own home sounds like an attractive offer. Private nursing staff can do just this. Furthermore, they provide invaluable care for people who suffer from chronic conditions or illnesses. They also help rehabilitate patients injuries and take care of the elderly by providing frail care. Lastly they provide respite for tired care givers if needs be.
