In-Home Health Care

Parmenter’s award-winning clinical care team enables people of all ages, and with a wide range of health care needs, to remain at home during illness, recuperation and rehabilitation. Whether you need to arrange home health care for yourself or a loved one, we will expedite the referral process, assist with necessary arrangements, communicate with appropriate insurers, and consult with the patient’s physicians to assure continuity of care.

In-home health care includes these services:

• Comprehensive nursing care for acute and chronic illnesses
• Assistance with medication management, including pain management
• Physical, occupational and speech therapies
• Palliative care for patients pursuing aggressive medical treatment
• Certified home health aide services including bathing, walking and dressing
• Nutrition services including restricted diet planning
• Medical social work including counseling, daily living support and referrals to outside resources

Please ask us about Parmenter’s Personal Emergency Response System, an optional service that provides both patient and family with a sense of security.

Palliative Care services are offered to those with life ending diseases as a bridge to hospice care.

An important consideration in choosing Parmenter is that should deteriorating health necessitate hospice, Parmenter home care patients can transition to our hospice program and be cared for by the same compassionate Parmenter home care staff members they have come to know and trust. Our unbroken chain of care eases anxiety, enhances outcome, and reduces stress on families and caregivers.

In an independent 2007 home care Patient Survey, 100% of responding patients said they were very or completely satisfied with their care, and would recommend Parmenter to others or choose us again for themselves.

Personal Emergency System

Supporting independent living through a two-way communication system that is monitored 24/7 and, when activated, initiates an emergency response.

A Personal Emergency Response System, PERS, gives participants a direct access to help in an emergency.Most individuals who participate live independently and want to have quick access to help should they fall or become ill. The client wears a small device called a personal transmitter. When help is needed, they just press a button. A signal is sent over standard telephone lines to a response center staffed 24 hours a day.

The PERS has the client's name, address, health profile, emergency and non-emergency contact names and phone numbers, and other important information in a database. The system also includes a help console with a speaker so Health Watch monitoring staff and the client can talk to each other. Response center staff arrange emergency and non-emergency assistance.
