HomeSafe nurses provide a complete assessment and make recommendations for services that will improve quality of life for your parent or relative. By paying for HomeSafe services families can feel like they are providing the assistance needed to allow their relatives to remain safe in their homes. The nurse health managers are either faculty from the College of Nursing or registered nurses who have education and clinical expertise in the care of elderly clients. The nurse health managers have varied experience in areas such as community care, psychiatric care, and medical surgical care. The HomeSafe nurse manager completes an assessment of the older person and with that assessment information the elder, family, and nurse agree on the appropriate level of services.
All information is kept confidential and is shared only with permission from the older person.
No, the HomeSafe program is based on the premise that elders who have the assistance of a nurse health manager who assesses, coordinates and evaluates their service and safety needs, will be able to remain in their homes longer.
