Nightingale Leads the Industry in Personalized In-Home Care

More and more elderly Americans are making

the choice to stay in their homes as they age.

While staying in their residence provides

comfort, familiarity, and a sense of

independence for seniors, it can also cause

loved ones to worry about their level of care,

possible injury, medication regimens, and even

loneliness.

Nightingale Private Duty Nursing offers peace

of mind while administering elder care

services. Their In-Home Care nurses and specialists can assist caregivers and patients

with aspects of daily living and with more substantial medical needs, without ever

having to leave home.

Nightingale Private Duty Nursing (NPDN) is part of the Visiting Nurse Association of

the Treasure Coast, Inc. As a valuable part of this reputable Senior Care Agency,

Nightingale is able to relieve much of the burden facing patients and loved ones as

they look for ways to provide their elders with senior home care.

Unlike nurse registries or independent

contractors, all of Nightingale’s aides,

nurses, and specialists are actual employees

of the Visiting Nurse Association, meaning

they are licensed by the state of Florida and

fully insured.

When the Nightingale staff enters a home,

families do not have to worry about

personal liability if the worker were to be

injured.

Patients do not have to pay taxes for the aides that provide them care—worker’s

compensation, unemployment insurance, social security, disability and all federal

taxes are paid by the employer.

All Nightingale associates have undergone background checks, been fingerprinted and

have passed motor vehicle reviews.

Plus, these care providers are all required to take ongoing education courses in such

things as CPR, geriatric abuse awareness and client safety.

Choosing Nightingale means that seniors desiring in-home care can focus on the

relationship they have with their care provider and can trust that Nightingale will

take care of the rest.

One very unique thing about this private duty agency is that it hires nurses and aides

that are the best at what they do, and then it focuses on developing customer

service.

Nightingale has the best interests of the client in mind, so its associates are aware of

their client’s needs and are engaged in the relationship. That might mean anything

from their employees gaining culinary training to participating in patient advocacy

education.

That’s what this agency strives to provide—a caring partnership where elder care

includes not only providing for basic needs and managing health care, but an advocate

for seniors and their families.

Nightingale Combines the Benefits of Agency Care

with Personalized Service

An important aspect of Nightingale’s customer service

goal is its participation in a full continuum of care. It

is a home health agency with an agency license and it

works with Medicare and with hospice.

They utilize registered nurse case managers that

oversee a patient’s care and coordinate with other

health care providers and agencies so that seniors are getting the best, most

personalized care possible.

Nurse case managers provide input for doctors and families as they make decisions as

to what to do for their loved ones. They might make decisions about increasing care

hours or involving Medicare so that services are not duplicated in the home.

Working with these other agencies allows Nightingale to engage in patient advocacy

and to ensure that the care it delivers is consistent across all aspects of a patient’s

life.

The Benefits Nightingale Provides are Invaluable

Pricing is a factor when making senior home care

decisions.

Nightingale feels the most important thing is to

make sure that patients and their families are fully

informed so that they can make decisions based on

the value they perceive in what the agency offers.

Patients are educated about the overhead costs of insuring employees, providing

benefits for their staff, screening applicants, and educating their nurses and aides, all

of which have positive effects on patient care and family advocacy.

The bottom line is that when seniors choose Nightingale for in-home elder care,

patients and their families know that they are safe and that their needs are taken

care of. That peace of mind is an invaluable part of NPDN’s senior home care service.
