Do you have an aging relative who wants to continue living at home but struggles with daily routines or health issues? The continually expanding population of seniors in Canada suggests that chances are good that you do. The Personalized Home Care Services with Promyse Home assist individuals with their daily personal hygiene, grooming, and other routine tasks. Our Nurse Case Management team gives our senior loved ones the tools to manage their health and the empowerment to advocate for their well-being.Â
Due to the growing senior population, many people will end up providing some form of home care at some point in their lives for a senior family member. It could be family members, a friend or neighbour.
Family Caregivers
Family caregivers provide tremendous support for older family members, but it can be difficult to shoulder the entire burden alone. Seniors’ health status and home care assistance needs can change in the blink of an eye. All it takes is one injury or a sudden onset of an ailment, and your loved one’s need for assistance can increase dramatically.
When this shift does occur, it puts extra pressure and stress on everyone involved. A Nurse Case Manager at Promyse Home Care can help with some of this pressure.

Benefits of Nurse Case Management
There are plenty of advantages to having your home care plan overseen by a Promyse Care registered nurse. Some of the most significant benefits include:
- System Navigation
- Attention to Detail
- Open and Ongoing Communication and Support
Â
System Navigation
Working with a nurse case manager is ideal for understanding the big picture when establishing your home care plan. Personal Home care is about more than just helping with daily tasks and treating health issues. Although these two areas of concern will certainly be covered, nurse case managers can also help with other matters and develop a comprehensive approach to ensure all bases are covered.Â
This can include the following:
- Medication management
- Chronic Disease Management
- Transitioning between Care Settings (hospitals, rehab centers)
- Community and social programs that may be beneficial to mental well-being
- End of Life Planning & Support
Â
Attention to Detail
Nurse case managers have an abundance of experience in all things home care. They have seen it all and will know of services and nursing care options you may have yet to consider. This can help minimize the pressure of making crucial care decisions for people who may not have experience with or exposure to home care services.
Open Ongoing Communication
To maximize your Home Care plan, Nurse Case Managers will coordinate with other healthcare professionals and family members to provide optimal care.
Open communication is essential to home care efficiency and ensures no conflicting strategies or practices are in place. It also provides comfort to the whole family and better quality of life for our senior loved ones.
