Aging at Home Caregivers

Broad Clinical Interviews

Broad Clinical Interviews
When I evaluate a new patient, I work to compress data collection and screen time on the front end of the visit so I can free up the remainder of the visit for face-to-face discussion and shared decision making. This intentional visit design is necessary because of the realities of modern clinic schedules. And so the questions I ask and their sequence is important to my understanding as well as the experience of the patient.

The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.
― Voltaire

Role of a Family Caregiver

In medicine there are clinical interview questions that deliver high impact nuggets at low-cost. This is one of them. This question exposes critical data that, in the background, often drives my initial approach to diagnostics and therapy. If you are a health professional try it and you’ll see. Clearly, there are clinical specialty visits that are more transactional where open-ended questions are not as critical. A good example would be consultation with a surgeon for hernia repair where the task at hand is unequivocal. (Source: 33charts.com)

Testimonials

I recently used the Companion service provided by North Region Homecare LLC and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. The caregiver who accompanied me was kind, friendly, and professional, and made me feel comfortable right away. They provided exceptional support with daily tasks and offered great conversation to pass the time. Overall, I would highly recommend the Companion service to anyone in need of some extra assistance at home. It truly made a positive impact on my day-to-day life.

I am a regular client of North Region Homecare, and I must say, their services keep on improving. I usually book them for my father who requires help in his daily life, and as I cannot be around my father all the time due to my work, I can always rely on the experienced professional staff that North Region Homecare has. With their support, I can work effectively and efficiently, sometimes even for long hours without any major worry from my father.

As a person who does not like hiring people to take care of my grandmother, upon someone’s advice, I made a decision to try North Region Homecare’s services for once. I stayed with their staff at my house for the full day and kept a check on my grandmother. I knew my grandmother was much more relaxed and comfortable as she showed signs of relief due to the care provided by the staff. I now have opportunities to spend more time with my studies and work, meanwhile, my grandmother stays happy too. One of the best decisions I made.
