Caring for loved ones that are medically fragile, and technology dependent is a very stressful and challenging. We work together with patients and families to meet their needs and incorporate patient-oriented goals in developing and carrying out patient-specific treatment plans. We give your loved ones the greatest opportunity to reach their optimal health and well-being with care, compassion, competence, and clinical excellence.
Our private duty skilled nursing provides hourly care to patients where they are most comfortable – in their home. Care can be anywhere between 5 and 24 hours a day with our Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and Certified Nurse Assistant (CNAs). Our staff are well-trained in providing excellent short-term and long-term clinical care to our medically fragile pediatrics and adult population.
A patient may qualify for private duty nursing services at home or school (if a CHILD) IF They:
- Have complex medical needs such as frequent seizures, ALS, Cerebral Palsy, and other muscle wasting or weakness diseases
- Have a tracheotomy and/or if they are ventilator-dependent
- Receive continuous nutritional feeds through a G-tube or NG-tube
- Receive intravenous nutrition
- Are oxygen-dependent in conjunction with other medical needs
Our Commitment to Partnership
We are committed to building strong partnerships with our patient and their families, healthcare professionals, care facilities, other care providers, community, and insurance companies and other payers.
We believe that quality care should be accessible, dependable, compassionate, coordinated, transparent, effective, trusted, and provided by competent licensed professionals.
Who Pays for Your Care?
Many insurance plans and Medicaid pay for the care and services that we provide. We coordinate how to receive payment from the payer source, handle the paperwork ourselves, and bill the payer directly. At Sacred Healthcare Group Inc, our focus and priority are to get you the care you need so we take care of the details so you can focus on the care of your loved ones.
Providing Care in a Nurturing Environment
At Sacred Healthcare Group Inc, we believe home is the best nurturing environment to care for our medically fragile, technology dependent loved ones. At home, loving family members can surround and shield the sick with hearts full of love. This can provide further assurance, calmness, and happiness for a medically fragile, technology dependent person, which in turn, can promote better and positive health outcomes for patients while reducing the stress and the challenges that staying in the hospital can present to the family. This positive outcome is the driving force behind our passion here at Sacred Healthcare Group Inc, which is to work with families and caregivers to help keep medically fragile patients at home.
What to Expect from Private Duty Nursing: A Step-by-Step Guide
A Clinical Supervisor will meet you at your home to answer any questions or address any concerns the patient/family may have, and gives the family the time they need to decide.
The Clinical Supervisor returns on a second visit to perform an initial assessment and fill out the required paperwork which will include patient-specific Plan of Care, Medication Profile, Emergency Plan, Home Rules, you’re scheduling needs and preferences, and any other information needed to provide the optimum level of care and comfort at home without adding more stress for the patient and family.
A representative from the Scheduling department of Sacred Healthcare Group Inc Healthcare will contact you to provide you with the nurse’s (Or CNA’s) Shift schedule, complete with your nurses’ names, the shifts days and shift time and durations.
Your home care nurses will be oriented to the patient’s care prior to working their first shift. Your nurses will start on the agreed date, shift, and time to provide hourly care, communicate with you and the physician, when necessary, provide teaching to you on how to care for your loved one, and assist you with your loved one’s other medical care needs. If needed, they will provide ongoing education and instruction on your loved one’s care needs changed and address your concerns on an ongoing basis.
Your home care nurses will document care the care provided. Their notes/chart is a legal document that will contain the care given during each shift. We may require that you to sign off on these notes or on employees at the end of every shift if possible.
