Considerations when selecting an in-home nurse
As our loved one’s age, their comfort and well-being become top priorities as they navigate new health challenges. For those looking for the best possible care, in-home nursing offers a clinically appropriate and personalized alternative to assisted living facilities and unskilled companion care. But finding a reliable and high-quality nursing team can take time and effort, which many family members may not have to spare. Read on to learn how TrustHouse nurses elevate the care experience for their clients and relieve the pressure on family members coordinating care.
What Makes TrustHouse Nursing Services Elite?
A fundamental part of TrustHouse’s mission is to elevate home care, from the quality of the care provided to the overall experience of our clients and families. Our in-home nursing program is deeply ingrained in our agency’s mission, driven by our two founders who are ICU nurses themselves.
To provide elite nursing services to our clients, we begin by ensuring that every one of our team members is the right fit. And as such, we only hire those with the unique combination of the most qualified experience, elevated professionalism, and extreme compassion.
Professionalism and Expertise
TrustHouse’s elite pool of nursing professionals have years of specialized training and clinical experience, either previously or currently working at top hospitals in New York. Their hospital background provides a strong foundation of medical knowledge, directly qualifying them to provide a full range of medical services, and proven experience in navigating the unique challenges that arise when caring for individuals in their homes.
All of our skilled nurses who provide home health care services collaborate with the physicians and healthcare specialists who will be a part of a client’s medical team to make sure that their health is consistently monitored and their care needs are met. By combining improved communication and more frequent early intervention methods, our nurses allow for significant improvement in the patient’s health outcomes when compared to a nursing home or a hospital with less personal care.
Our nurse’s experience in the hospital system means they also understand that healthcare is constantly evolving and strive to stay up-to-date with their field’s latest research, techniques, and technologies.
Training and Oversight
To meet the ever-evolving needs of the healthcare industry, TrustHouse is committed to providing ongoing education and training to ensure our clients receive the most advanced and effective care possible. This continuous education, created in conjunction with leading disease research organizations and including our own proprietary learning and development curriculum, empowers our nurses to adapt to the home environment and tailor their care to each patient’s individual needs – allowing for better outcomes and, in many cases, preventing hospitalization.
As full time employees, TrustHouse nurses are protected under the agency’s liability and business insurance, providing them with employee benefits while also protecting clients from any risk associated with employment. As a licensed agency, TrustHouse is able to accept reimbursement from long term care insurance policies, something not available to clients hiring independent contractors for their care.
Personalized & Holistic Care Plans
Similar to medical conditions, client personalities are unique, so we take an individualized approach to ensure all care is tailored to a client’s specific needs. And that begins with carefully selecting the right nurse from our pool of elite nurses.
Upon interest, TrustHouse Registered Nurse Care Managers will meet with clients and their loved ones to understand their health concerns, such as medical needs, medication management, mobility assistance, dietary requirements, emotional support, and more. The TrustHouse team uses this opportunity to get to know clients personally, so we can find a nurse that not only has the proper medical specialization, but will also seamlessly transition as a part of their home and family.
Beyond identifying the right nurse, TrustHouse works hard to keep the same nurses with clients to ensure they are familiar with their needs and the family’s preferences. The Nurse Care Manager also becomes an integral part of the care team, ensuring all nurses on the schedule are up-to-date on the plan of care and liaising directly with any outside clinicians or specialists to keep communication clear and streamlined. This relieves family caregivers from having to coordinate schedules and train caregivers on their own.
From the introduction and throughout our service, our approaches allow for better communication and a more personalized care plan specific to each client’s needs. Our goal is to create a cohesive and trusting relationship that not only addresses client’s medical requirements but also nurtures emotional well-being for them and their loved ones as they navigate aging and other health events.
TrustHouse is a premier, bespoke in-home care provider that delivers personalized services tailored to meet the exacting standards of discerning families.
