Visiting your doctor as recommended plays a key role in maintaining wellness. From scheduling visits, arranging your day and arriving on time, there is often a degree of planning involved. For those receiving daily living care to meet personal needs, this process may require some support as well. Whether it be a trip to see your eye doctor, primary doctor, chiropractor, dentist, physical therapist or specialist, your in-home caregiver can be with you through every aspect of these important visits helping ensure you are prompt and prepared. Here at Aqua Home Care, reliable, experienced caregivers from our registry assist their clients in so many important ways, including providing support with doctor visits. This support can include offering assistance with:
- Scheduling appointments
- Assisting with the set-up of virtual visits
- Dressing comfortably and appropriately
- Providing reminders for any pre-visit instructions given by your doctor (ex: no eating after a certain time, taking your medication, drinking fluids, etc.)
- Arranging for a wheelchair accessible vehicle, if needed
- Driving you to your appointment safely and on time
- Getting in and out of the vehicle
- Filling out any necessary forms
- Offering companionship before, during and/or after you see your doctor
- Being present, if requested, to ask, answer and write down any questions you or your doctor may have
