Determining Needs
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Trying to determine the type of care you or a loved one might need is not a job that has to be done alone. At Oxford, we are trained to assist you with determining the type of care required. We see it as a team effort, working with you, family members, physicians and other health care professionals. Our goal is to provide quality care, allowing people to maintain their independence and dignity, and still be safe.

 

Consider these questions. Do you (or your loved one):
  • Eat balanced meals, and drink enough fluids? Do you need encouragement?

  • Need assistance getting in and out of the shower, or completing activities such as bathing or getting dressed?

  • Have difficulty walking? Feel slightly dizzy when you get up from your chair, or unsteady when you try to walk? Have problems with slipping and falling?

  • Become easily confused or sidetracked? Burn food? Leave the stove on unattended? Forget to turn the bath water off?

  • Forget if you have taken your medication, or make errors with your medications?

  • Have problems getting to your appointments by yourself?

  • Forget you have appointments?
  • Suffer from loneliness, isolation, depression, or have a need for companionship? Make frequent, non-specific phone calls.

  • Feel you need some extra help, but don't want to impose on family and friends?

  • Have an open wound that will not heal? Have frequent visits to the Emergency Room or hospital?

  • Require additional education to effectively manage a condition, such as diabetes?

  • Need extra assistance with end-of-life care?

This wide range of employees and skill levels ensures you or your loved one has the proper care, at the most reasonable cost. Rely on the professionals at Oxford to help you determine the type of care needed. There is not charge for this service. Call us any time, day or night, on our toll free number:
