Geriatric care services either at home or in a facility are often heard of. Similar services are also provided to babies, children, and even teens who have prematurity complications, chronic illnesses, serious injuries, developmental disabilities, and are nearing the end of life. Multiple risks are associated with long-term hospitalization. Undernutrition, social isolation, decline in mental function due to lack of mental stimulation, and increased risk of catching infections are some of the disadvantages. Unlike in hospitals, home health care reduces stress in patients, lowers health care expenses, and has a faster recovery rate.
Severe and chronic disorders like asthma, childhood cancer, and heart disease require pediatric nursing to administer medications, monitor vital signs, evaluate symptoms, and deliver infusion therapy. For children and teens with terminal illnesses, a pediatric nurse focuses on providing support, comfort, and assistance. Young adults up to 21 years are still eligible for pediatric hospice care.
Another reason for needing pediatric care in FL at home is if the child has either one or a combination of physical, intellectual, and mental disabilities. Physical disabilities that are muscular, skeletal, and neurological need skilled therapy services. Speech, occupational, and physical therapy helps in improving mobility, the ability to perform daily activities, preventing injury, and building self-esteem. Both patients with physical and intellectual disabilities benefit from these three types of therapy. Meanwhile, mental disabilities require psychological therapy to increase social functioning, gain confidence, and adopt proper techniques to change difficulties in emotions, behaviors, and thoughts.
