Mapping the needs of home care services
The Vaasa Mapping Team and the Pietarsaari Helmi Team serve new home care clients centrally.
Content of the Service
Home care helps a person in everyday activities according to their individual need. Home care can be temporary or long-term help. The client’s personal care is taken care of based on an assessment of the need for services. The client’s need determines how often visits are made and how they are assisted.
We use the RAIsoft performance meter as an assessment tool. As a result, the need for assistance from all clients is assessed equally.
The most common home care tasks are as follows.
- Providing assistance in eating and heating food
- Providing assistance in washing and hygiene
- Providing assistance in dressing and changing clothes
- Medication: timely administration of tablets or injections
- Medical measurements such as blood sugar and blood pressure
- Individual treatment procedures such as wound care and catheterisation
- Light household chores such as rubbish removal and general wellbeing
- Discussion and social support.
