Premier Homecare’s team of professions work collaboratively with patients that have cognitive impairment. Our team uses a blend of compassion, care, and training to work with clients who face the challenges of cognitive and memory deficits. Our goal is to build effective communication methods with patients and caregivers while implementing strategies and interventions to promote independence for as long as possible. When difficult to manage behaviors and/or personality changes occur, our team of mental health nurses can assist in counseling and proving strategies to address behavioral issues. Highly skilled home care clinicians provide patient education materials focused on the needs of each individual.
Mental health is an important component to the overall health and wellbeing of our patients. At Premier Homecare, mental health services are provided in the comfort of the patient’s own home.
