What is Illness or Injury Care?
Illness or injury care may require short term care to assist an individual, or family members through a transitional period from serious illness or injury to rehabilitation. Support to the family may also take the form of long term care, assisting with day to day care of an adult or child who has been injured and suffers from long lasting effects.
Since not all individuals who have been injured or have prolonged illness require the same level of care, care should be geared to the individual needs of the family. It will be important to listen to the person, their family and team of health practitioners to match the level of care required to the services available in your community.
Care may be found in several ways. The family can seek a caregiver who works independently or through an agency No matter the method used to secure care, the steps to finding care to meet the needs of your family are the same.
A caregiver may provide care to the injured or ill person in their own home, in a hospital or rehabilitation centre. Regardless of the type of care required, the emphasis should be on orienting services toward the entire family to support them in a time of transition where additional stressors result from caring for an injured or ill person. The most difficult problem for a family with a child or adult who is ill or injured is finding quality of care and expertise required.
A family may be reluctant to use care and even question the need for support of this nature. It is important for families with injured or ill family members to ask themselves some questions to determine if care is required.
The benefits of specialized care to the injured or ill person can be seen in the early stages of service delivery. The person has the care required to facilitate a more effective recovery because caregivers are trained to meet these needs. The family is able to take some personal time to rejuvenate.
When a client is looking to find care of this nature it is important to seek out the caregiver best suited to the needs of the family. It is important that the client screen each candidate to meet those particular needs.
