Paloma Home Health provides high quality home health care services from licensed professionals. Registered Nurses (RNs) and licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) Provide skilled services that cannot be performed safely and effectively by nonprofessional personnel. Some of these services include injections and intravenous therapy, wound care, education on disease treatment and prevention, and patient assessments. RNs may also provide case management services. RNs have received 2-4 years (sometimes more) of specialized education and are licensed to practice by the state. LPNs have 1-2 years of specialized training and are licensed to work under the supervision of registered nurses. The intricacy of a patient's medical condition and required course of treatment determine whether care should be provided by an RN or can provide by an LPN. Physical Therapists (PTs) Work to restore the mobility and strength of patients who are limited or disabled by physical injuries or illness through the use of exercise, massage, and other methods. Physical Therapists often alleviate pain and restore injured muscles with specialized equipment. They also teach patients and caregivers special techniques for walking and transfer. Social Workers Evaluate the social and emotional factors affecting ill and disabled individuals and provide counseling. They also help patients and their family members identify available community resources. Speech Language Pathologists Work to develop and restore the speech of individuals with communication disorders; usually these disorders are the result of trauma, surgery, or stroke. Speech therapists also help retrain patients in breathing, swallowing, and muscle control. Occupational Therapists (OTs) Help individuals who have physical, developmental, social, or emotional problems that prevent them from performing the general activities of daily living (ADLs).
