Complete Care Family Medical Clinic

When you have a baby with a chronic illness, knowing how to provide the best care isn't always easy. If you need help learning how to provide the care, our health professionals can give you the support you need.

Whether you’re sick or recovering from an accident or surgery, wouldn’t you prefer to recuperate at home? That’s possible with home health care services, which can include everything from replacing dressing on wounds to physical and occupational therapy.

How do I initiate home health care so that my insurer will cover those services? Check with your insurer, but in many cases, a referral from a physician is required. Sometimes, this is called a plan of care that can be regularly reviewed and updated by your doctor.

The appendix is one of the most unusual parts of the human body. This small organ - no more than four inches long - is between the small and large intestines at the top of the colon. Researchers have discovered no clear purpose within the body for the appendix, which can become infected and require surgery called "appendicitis."

To help family members coordinate a care giving schedule, it is helpful to hold a family meeting once a month to discuss time issues, new concerns and any difficulties with care. Family members who are being cared for can also offer input on areas they need more help with.

At some point, it may become too dangerous for one or both of your parents to live alone at home. If your parent(s) has reached this point, but has taken a stand against moving to an assisted living facility, home medical health care may be the solution.
