NorthShore Home Care Wellness Program

Preventative medicine has been and continues to be a rapidly growing healthcare sector. As it pertains to aging, preventive medicine is crucial. Preventative medicine can prevent disease and/or disease progression. Our wellness program works similarly to preventative medicine for older adults by addressing issues early on and preventing them from severe injuries/ death. It can prevent them from utilizing costly services due to injury or decline. We have developed a program that targets nutrition, hydration, balance, strength, cognitive health, and emotional well-being. After decades of going into patients' homes to assist them post an acute event or decline, we decided to develop a program to encourage older adults and their families to take a proactive approach. Our customized wellness solution begins by gathering data through our assessment. We then create a customized plan for each client. Through our wellness program, we hope to empower, encourage, and support older adults by following a curated plan that can help them achieve their highest quality of life and keep them safe within their own homes. Our program prevents older adults from utilizing skilled nursing facilities, reduces hospitalizations, and prevents costly in-home care services. After observing many patients and families over the years, the reactive approach to aging is challenging emotionally and financially. Nursing home care is often at least $200,000 annually, with home care services not far behind, depending on how many service hours are needed. Our unique wellness program helps individuals stay healthy and independent longer in their homes where they wish to remain. Contact our NorthShore wellness team at 847-510-7166.
