Quality healthcare is one of the most important factors in how individuals perceive their quality of life. Thanks to advances in understanding of the causes of diseases, and consequent improvements in diagnostic techniques and treatments, nowadays people live longer than ever. Namely, in most developed countries, the average life expectancy has now reached 80 years and continues to lengthen. In addition to people living longer, increasingly more people are living longer with chronic disease. As patients begin to exercise their right to choose how and with whom they engage for their healthcare, the quality of care is becoming increasingly important.
Over the past couple of years, nation known companies such as Americare, a home health care provider, have gone above and beyond to improve the patient experience. Fortunately, Americare has an experienced Chief Operating Officer, Faivish Pewzner, leading the way towards improved patient experience. According to Faivish Pewzner, the company's main goal is to ensure that care is consistently patient-centered by partnering with caregivers to exceed the expectations of patients and their families.
The senior-care industry is driven by professionals who are aware of the ever-changing needs of the aging population. Depending on the senior’s health condition, every now and then the patient may require special and additional assistance. Good in-home care providers need to be responsive to the varying requirements and customize their care strategy accordingly. They should also be capable of offering extra support, if and when required.
In order to address the needs of senior patients, and move forward to a demand driven model, global health organizations and leading hospitals are putting the patient at the center of everything they do. Following this example, Pewzner hires nurses, therapists, and home aides that are not only medically certified but are also compassionate, confident, and devoted caregivers who are passionate about their work and the patients they work with. As a leading home care service provider, Americare employs only the most seasoned in-home caregivers who are capable of customizing the services as per the requirements of seniors.
Senior patients have a unique set of needs and the in-home care service provider should be able to fulfill them. While most in-home care providers regularly engage their staff in continuing education related to eldercare, Pewzner believes that certain skills can be developed only through experience. Only an experienced care provider can study the patient’s mood or behavior, understand prescriptions, use medical supplies appropriately, and handle an emergency effectively, says Faivish Pewzner. Professional in-home care providers understand their duties and responsibilities towards their patients, and are available depending on the needs and the condition of the patient. Moreover, they are passionate about their job, honor their commitments and carry out their responsibilities in a professional manner.
