In-home Rehabilitation Support Services for the Management of Injuries

Accidents and injuries can happen to anybody unexpectedly! When they do, it can be a profound, life-changing event. Whether it is a car accident, a workplace injury, or another type of event, when an injury occurs, help is needed. Amidst the many professionals and specialists required to piece together the recovery process, there is one service that is sometimes overlooked - in home care. KinCare can provide vital in-home services so you or your loved one can return home sooner and recover in comfort.

Why are in-home injury care services necessary?

When you or your loved one has an injury, daily tasks can become more difficult or impossible. Family members or friends step in to help, but may not be able to sustain the level of support needed when the need to return to work or travel. Depending on others can become unrealistic or cause a strain on relationships. KinCare's in-home care services for people with an injury and their families work closely with all parties involved to help you or your loved one successfully transition back to home, gain independence, return to work if appropriate, and live a fulfilling life.

In-home services provided by KinCare

All our services can be combined in unique ways and tailored at your request. We can provide short episodes of care, such as 30 minutes to assist with personal hygiene, or up to 24-hour, live-in care. KinCare works in partnership with other rehabilitation services to complement and enhance the recovery process. We can provide further assistance with rehabilitation exercises or provide reminders and transport to appointments.

Some of our services include:

• Housekeeping
  To keep a house clean and pleasant takes time. We can take care of the housekeeping to help you keep your home the way you like. Our services can help you spend more quality time with the people you love.
• Meal preparation
  There is nothing like a home cooked meal. We can prepare the meals so you or your loved one can enjoy tasty meals even if you are unable to prepare them yourself.
• Personal care
  Everyday tasks can become difficult when you experience an injury. We can help you or your loved one with personal hygiene and grooming. This can involve using the bathroom, getting dressed or even shaving and styling your hair. Daily grooming contributes to a positive and confident attitude to life.
• Nursing care
  Having to go to the doctors and specialists for checkups can be a burden. We can create a nursing plan to meet many medical needs at home. This will reduce the number of visits to the doctor or hospital.
• Transport
  Injuries can cause the loss of mobility. This does not mean you or your loved one have to miss out on appointments, shopping, community events or social gatherings. We can offer transport and support to maintain an active life.
• Companionship
  Having an injury can be an isolating experience. So if you or your loved one needs companionship, we are happy to visit! It could only be for a cup of tea, or going for a walk to the park, or going shopping. We can also cater for family and friends to visit by cleaning the house and cooking a meal so you or your loved one can lead an enjoyable and socially active life.
• Respite services
  Providing care for a loved one who has suffered an injury can be both rewarding and stressful. Sometimes it is important to take a break so you can sustain the care you are providing. We carefully document routines and preferences so our assistants can provide the required care for you or your loved one to live comfortably. We can provide short-term or long-term live-in care to enable you to take a break with the security of knowing your loved one is being cared for.
