post surgical hospital care

In the State of Florida an aide can only change a non sterile bandage. If a patient asks for assistance and the doctor's order requires a sterile dressing than this is considered skilled nursing care and requires both a script from a physician and an LPN or higher. Only non sterile applications apply to the scope of a home health aide's or a certified nursing assistant's license.

Yes, we have a number of licensed caregivers able to provide clients with a one hour bath visit. Whether a client is in need of a bath for soaking or a shower, families and client's alike can feel good knowing personal hygiene has been attended to. For some clients that may be hesitate in starting care, a bath visit can be a great way to give home care a try.
