How it works – Mrs. Smith’s Example

Mrs. Smith, who is 84 years old, was recently widowed and lives alone in her family home. Three of her children live out of the province, while her youngest son lives nearby with his family. Mrs. Smith has diabetes and COPD and often finds it difficult to manage her housework and meal preparation. Since her husband’s passing, she does not feel motivated to make meals, leading to difficulties in managing her blood sugar levels. Moreover, Mrs. Smith recently suffered a fall, leading to her visit to the emergency room. Neighborhood Nurse Nancy received a call from Mrs. Smith’s son and promptly visited her in hospital. Nancy and the Smith family co-designed a care plan to ensure Mrs. Smith’s safe return home. Nancy also spoke to Mrs. Smiths physician and hospital nurses and helped the family understand what to expect next. When Mrs. Smith was discharged, Nancy was there to welcome her home. She diligently monitored Mrs. Smith’s vital signs and blood sugar levels, while administering her fragmin injection as prescribed. Nancy made regular phone calls to Mrs. Smith’s physician and her children as per Mrs. Smith’s request. Together they determined how much nursing and personal support care Mrs. Smith would need to keep her safe at home.

Nancy’s team of dedicated caregivers delivered Rise and Shine services, including a Sharp Minds visit twice a week, supporting Mrs. Smith as she regained her confidence. The caregiver and nurse visits brought Mrs. Smith joy and reassurance, knowing she could reach out to Nurse Nancy directly for any health concerns. The regular visits and monitoring of Mrs. Smith’s physical and mental well-being by the caregivers provided great comfort and peace of mind for her family.
