Occupational Therapy (OT) plays a pivotal role in the field of home healthcare, especially when individuals are dealing with long-term illnesses or disabilities resulting from occupational hazards or workplace injuries. These situations often necessitate extended stays in hospitals or convalescent homes, but a growing preference among patients and their families is to return home as soon as medically possible. In this regard, agencies like Diamond Home Health Care, Inc. offer invaluable support and rehabilitation services tailored to the unique needs of each patient.

We have occupational therapists who can visit the patient at home and provide the treatment for illnesses, injuries and disabilities that may have been caused by occupational hazards in the workplace.

Included in the occupational therapy program are:

• Balance Management
• Body Mechanics
• Exercise Programs
• Motor and Reasoning Abilities Improvement
• Muscle Control
• Physical Mobility Restoration
• Posture Correction
• Strength Enhancement

When you come to a point in your life where you experience a death in the family or someone you love falls chronically ill, you will need all the support you can get. A Medical Social Worker can provide you with professional counseling services and support during such difficult times.

Medical Social Workers can:

• Help you get access to home health care services
• Assist you in getting discharged from a care facility
• Give you access to resources and information about an illness or disease
• Educate you and your family of an illness or disease
• Provide family counseling
• Provide life coaching
• Give you bereavement support

Positive support and sound advice can help you look at your situation with a different perspective and in a more manageable manner. This enables you to more effectively handle health conditions or family situations.

One of the skilled services offered by Diamond Home Health Care is IV Therapy. This service is provided by a registered nurse who is certified to provide IV Therapy to patients in their homes.

Our agency will coordinate with your primary physician for medications and IV equipment that will be used in your home. IV Therapy includes:

• Chemotherapy
• Intravenous (IV) medications
• Antibiotic therapy
• Blood transfusions
• Gamma globulin and iron infusions
• Hydration (Dextrose)
• Electrolyte Therapy
• IV Line management for lines such as:
  • Port-A-Cath lines
  • Subclavian-Jugular lines
  • Hickman lines
  • PICC (Peripherally-inserted Central Catheter) lines
  • Midline Catheter lines

Receiving IV Therapy in your home can be less costly compared to those provided in an institutional care facility such as a hospital. It also gives you the lifestyle flexibility that institutionalized care cannot give. At home, you have more control of your care options and the care provider who administers it.
