What's New
HomeCare Solutions devotes a large amount of time, energy, and resources to research and implement technology that will undoubtedly improve patient care while maintaining that personal touch that is so important to all of us. Some of our latest advances include:
2009 Best of Lubbock
HomeCare Solutions has been selected for the second consecutive year for the 2009 Best of Lubbock Award in the Home Health Service category by the U.S. Local Business Association. Only 1 in 70 (1.4%) 2008 Award recipients qualified as 2009 Award Winners. This award program recognizes outstanding local businesses that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.
Mother/Baby
A Registered Nurse will monitor Mother and baby by checking vital signs, fetal heart rate using a Doppler and uterine activity using a Toco monitor if requested by her physician. The RN will also assist the physician to administer medications that control uterine contractions by giving injections or placing the mother on a continuous ambulatory pump. Following delivery of the baby an RN will provide newborn assessments as well as any after delivery care the mother may need. By coordinating care with the physician it is our goal to make the antepartum and postpartum experience as free from complications as possible while allowing mother to remain at home in lieu of a lengthy hospitalization.
Dietitian Support
The dietitian specializes in assessing nutritional needs, developing a plan and educating the patient and their family on ways to improve their health by adopting healthier nutrition and lifestyle habits. The dietitian can also assist in implementation and/or maintenance of tube feedings and intravenous nutrition.
Angel's Arms Assisted Living
Angel’s Arms is a small personal care home locally owned and operated by a Registered Nurse with extensive experience in the adult and geriatric population. The staff of Angel’s Arms has one priority and that is the comfort and safety of the residents. We feel that family support is vital to health maintenance and illness recovery but also realize what the strain of being both caregiver and family can be. We want to fill the caregiver role so that family can be just that... family.
Anodyne Therapy
Anodyne therapy is a treatment that uses ultraviolet light to increase circulation and decrease pain to areas of the body that have impaired circulation or suffer from neuropathy. This non-invasive therapy is completed in 30 minute sessions 3 times a week for 4 weeks and has a documented 98% success rate. This therapy can also be used with current wound care to speed healing or to help jump-start a non-healing wound.
Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring
This device can monitor blood pressure in pre-set timed intervals to aide in the diagnosis of hypertension or to help calibrate blood pressure medications. It is worn by the patient for a 24-hour period and the results are downloaded and forwarded to the physician for diagnosis.
Point of Care Protime Machine
This gives us the capability to monitor Coumadin therapy with a finger stick rather than actually drawing a blood sample form the patient. The results are instantaneous and we work with your physician or Coumadin clinic to keep your levels in an acceptable range. There is no added charge for this service.
Point of Care Clinical Documentation
This system allows caregivers real time data twice daily. The field nurses carry computer notebooks and record their findings and assessments in them. This allows for daily updates, accurate information, and the most accurate clinical data available, all day, every day.
