Facilities Care

Extra support in Calgary hospitals or long-term care facilities

When in the hospital, it’s often hard to receive the amount of individual attention your loved one requires.

By having a Qualicare Calgary personal Health Care Aide ensure the proper comfort, safety, and support during your family member’s stay, you know they are receiving the individual attention they need to return home as quickly as possible.

Qualicare Calgary’s hospital support:

• Will most likely have a reduced length of stay because of this personal care
• Sees consistent support through the rehabilitation process or post-operative care

• Develops a discharge plan, ensuring home care is in place before your loved one is discharged
• Is an advocate for your family member’s health and recovery
• Is sometimes covered through extended medical insurance for care
• Sees that your loved one has their dignity remain intact at all times

Your Qualicare hospital support can include any of the following:

• Companionship Care (reading, writing letters, engaging in a game of cards or any other activity, accompaniment off the ward for a change of scenery)
• Positioning / bed adjustment
• Gentle exercises
• Personal grooming (i.e. washing, dressing), and / or toileting
• Walking
• Clear communication with nurses, other hospital staff, family and friends

Being proactive in receiving hospital support often accelerates your loved one’s hospital departure, while allowing your personal care member to ensure proper home care is in place prior to discharge.

Such proactive items to be organized involve:
