High-Quality Outpatient Nursing Services at Home – Rezus.lt Specialists Ready to Assist
A year ago, a new initiative started – outpatient nursing services at home (or otherwise – ASPN) – has been gaining increasing interest from residents, and for many patients, this service not only eases recovery but also contributes to better psychological well-being and ensures continuity of medical services. Successful treatment and other nursing services depend on experienced specialists who visit the patient at home. So how to choose the best company providing ASPN, is answered by the professional nursing service provider Rezus.lt.
The Most Important Thing is Quality and Experienced Specialists
ASPN – these are licensed personal health care services that are provided at the client's home. In other words, residents who have mobility impairments, suffer from complex chronic diseases, have chronic illnesses, have experienced trauma, or for other reasons temporarily cannot take care of themselves, can receive health care services at home. Whether it's necessary to administer IVs, take blood samples for tests, perform physiotherapy exercises, or simply take care of the hygiene of a bedridden patient, bandage wounds and perform other outpatient health care procedures – all these nursing services at the patient's home can be performed by experienced professionals in their field.
Nursing services at home are implemented by primary health care centers or institutions licensed to provide these services, such as UAB Rezus.lt. The patient can choose which institution's specialists they wish to receive ASPN from. In any case, outpatient health services at home prescribed by the family doctor are free for all patients, regardless of which institution's specialists the patient decides to choose.
“Elderly people, especially those with chronic diseases, most often receive ASPN. These are not necessarily people suffering from severe conditions. Perhaps it is difficult for the elderly person to visit frequently for blood tests, or there are no relatives to help take care of them. It is very important that the specialist visiting the home meets the patient's needs. Our Rezus.lt team not only performs medical procedures but often also communicates with clients, encourages them. After all, a sick person needs not only medical care but also a kind word, pleasant service. They need to trust the medical staff, not feel lonely and forgotten,” says UAB Rezus.lt nursing services coordinator D. Dobrovolskienė.
Who Can Qualify for ASPN?
ASPN can be received by all patients for whom a nursing need is determined based on a nursing services assessment questionnaire. This questionnaire for patient evaluation is available to all family doctors and can be used to assess the patient's condition upon request. Also, ASPN can be provided after day surgery services, injuries, and similar situations if the person temporarily cannot take care of themselves.
“ASPN services are ensured by experienced specialists – a nurse, a nurse's assistant, or a physiotherapist. There is especially high demand for physiotherapy services, and we are pleased that the extensive Rezus.lt team of specialists successfully works with patients, helping them to move and walk again. We ensure that within just 5 working days from the family doctor's referral for ASPN, our employees visit the patient's home. Every visit is planned in advance and coordinated with the person,” says D. Dobrovolskienė.
The company Rezus.lt has a large team of experienced specialists who provide ASPN not only in Šiauliai city but also in Mažeikiai, Joniškis, and plans to offer services in Panevėžys soon.
“The family doctor indicates the level of nursing need for each patient – small (52 visits per year), medium (165 visits per year), or large (260 visits per year). Based on this, it depends how often our specialists visit their homes. However, patients themselves should choose specialists they trust because mutual understanding is very important,” emphasizes D. Dobrovolskienė.
Residents wishing to receive outpatient nursing services at home should first contact their family doctor. After receiving a referral for ASPN, the patient can choose from specialists offered by the family doctor’s center or other companies providing nursing services.
