In-Home Assistance - Neighborhood Network for Seniors
The Living At Home Block Nurse Program provides or arranges support an elder neighbor needs to continue living at home as long as safely possible. This support, which may otherwise not be available, uses the program's small staff, volunteers and/or paid nursing staff. Services include: - Care Coordination: neighborhood Network staff will meet with seniors and families to discuss their needs. A care plan is designed for each senior that may include a variety of volunteer support or professional referral services. A home safety assessment is also completed at intake. - Friendly Visiting: volunteers provide friendship and can assist with services such as transportation to and from appointments, chore support (including seasonal leaf raking and snow shoveling), grocery shopping assistance, plant/pet care, etc. Does not offer transportation to medical procedures or surgeries. - In-Home Foot Care: a registered nurse will visit and provide foot care for non-diabetic seniors. Foot care includes cleaning feet, trimming nails, and massaging for circulation. - Medication Management and Blood Pressure Checks: the outreach nurse can assist seniors with their medication schedule as well as regular blood pressure checks.
