Ovation Health provides a simple and efficient solution to the barriers of day-to-day family oversight of in-home, and nursing home care. We are aware that the care of seniors, even in the best facilities, is considerably better when they are closely monitored by family members or other concerned individuals; “The squeaky wheel gets the most oil.” These seniors tend to live longer and have a much better outlook on life.
Ovation Health offers professional:
Family members are sometimes geographically separated from their elderly loved ones due to work, travel or other responsibilities. Sometimes the elderly may go for long periods without attention from anyone except strangers providing care at home or in a care facility. Ovation Health solves that problem through our Geriatric Care Managers and Independent Onsite Visitation Advocates.
Some elderly individuals are determined to live independently. Ovation Health help’s families by providing oversight and life management services. Our services may enable some seniors to live independently while ensuring distant family members that they are ok.
Frequent visitation and observation not only sends a clear message to providers that the quality of care they are providing is being noticed, but is also the best way to detect health & life & mental health problems at the early stages before they become severe or life threatening. We make sure that an in-home client or nursing home resident receives quality care, and that abuse and neglect are quickly recognized and dealt with.
Ovation Health works with senior healthcare facilities to improve care for our clients by advocating for them, watching for neglect and helping to prevent the rare instance of abuse. We also act as a liaison between the family and caregivers. Our constant watchful eye ensures that monitoring happens in a way that benefits our elderly clients.
Here are some troubling statistics…..
Families and medical caregivers are now recognizing that seniors and the disabled need personal help navigating the complex array of local care providers. Families are now contracting with care/health management companies such as Ovation Health to assist their family members. Please call us today. We look forward to serving you and your family.
