the reason I Like Home Care is because you're not just giving meds I like that
you take care of the complete person getting them up in the morning dressing um how are
you this morning I've been Campbell's nurse for about three months now your feet are warm
she just has so much personality just makes me feel really good to be able to help her and to
help her family it's nice that we're able to come in and help out the family and help take care of
her that's so that she can be in her home and functioning well they noticed some things on an
ultrasound and luckily knew that she would require open heart surgery within days after birth her
heart function is just a tiny fraction of what it should be we wouldn't be able to do what we
need to do without private duty nursing it just gives us flexibility allows me to grocery shop
and go to work and do all the things that need to be done the Cooper was three when she was born he
always has to give her a kiss before he leaves they love each other and it's fun to watch that
like regular interaction just being siblings they all add so much to her day she loves the nurses
they've been so well trained and I know I can call into home care and ask questions we have
supervisors on call 24 hours a day seven days a a week to support our staff both our nurses
and our therapists our in-home nursing staff get to meet with our therapists we help our patients
every day our home care private duty staff and all of our other nursing staff comes to the
skills lab and we train them for approximately at least a week before they're out in the field
they learn about home care they learn about the ins and outs of safety in the community
as well as using our simulation dolls in order to practice their procedures and their skills before
they go out and do these on our patients we make sure that everyone is comfortable
in what they're doing before they actually are doing everything on their own so we make sure
the preceptor and the nurse who is in the field is feeling comfortable with their procedures we
ask that both are saying they are and then we go forward patient family centered care in the home
is made possible through the hiring and training of nurses that are compassionate professional
and skilled in patient care we provide Best Care best outcomes to every patient with that
we're constantly looking at how to contribute to best outcomes how do we keep our patients safe
and we've worked over the past several years on making certain that patients with trachs Central
lines don't have infections and we're proud to have the lowest rates throughout the nation
the skills lab will support our clinicians in meeting our mission and vision achieving best
outcomes for our patients Services include skilled nursing private duty nursing clinical therapies
hospice and palliative care through low Fidelity education the skills lab will allow our clinical
experts to focus on skills that are needed to support our patients and their families from
pediatric assessment training enteral tube care to highly skilled infusion Care Management the skills
lab is another resource that will allow home care to focus on onboarding ongoing education and
state-of-the-art AV Equipment for presentations in person or virtually all this makes us proud
to be a leader in providing Premier Pediatric Care at home to Children families in central Ohio and
Beyond there's a lot of support to a Nationwide Children's Hospital Hospital there's just always
someone there to kind of back you up do you know that you've really made a difference in that not
only the patient's life but the the family of life as well I do like pediatric home care you
can really see the progression and the changes as they're growing up I just usually leave and
feeling really good and in a happy mood and feel like I've now made an accomplishment for the day
