Frail, sick, fragile and elderly people often require specialised health services. These are usually accompanied by other specialised services, such as housing or transport services. At Locum911, we provide and enhance such services. We do general health services for the elderly, sick people, help with assistive devices, and cater for the general health services for the elderly, frail, sick and fragile people.
Although the running of Old Age Homes (OAH) for the aged/elderly is a function of the provincial Department of Social Development, the Department of Health is indirectly involved in the health needs of the aged. Elderly patients, including those with chronic illnesses, can access health care at all levels for medication, rehabilitation and other health needs provided by our registered Locum professionals. Patients are able to go on their own from OAHs or their houses to and from clinics or hospitals when necessary. Transport can be arranged by our Locum staffs.
In addition, our Locum staffs check on the nutrition aspect of meals served for the sick and elderly. Home-based Locum care service is also available to the aged and can be accessed through our Locum company. Our Locum staffs look after the abused elderly and the sick ones. Abuse of elderly people is a serious problem and is dealt with jointly by the provincial Departments of Social Development and Health, and sometimes the Department of Community Safety. The new Aged Persons’ Bill deals with abuse of the aged, and who should report the incidents.
At Locum911, we observed that the causes of abuse are varied. However, it’s more likely to occur if the older person is physically dependent, lacks sufficient income to be self-sufficient, can’t remember, or becomes indecisive and confused. Other possible factors include poverty, unemployment, inappropriate housing, marital difficulties, alcohol and drug abuse and poor communication with or by the older person. Of the 5 areas of abuse (physical, emotional, financial, neglect and sexual), physical is the most harmful, causing physical, emotional and psychological pain and distress.
Our Locum staff at all levels of care can inform family and friends about what to look out for if they suspect that there’s abuse of the sick and elderly, whether it happens in the older person’s home, an OAH/old age institution or other places of board and lodging. Locum911 staffs will keep a register of all reported cases of abuse.
Finally, our Locum911 staffs offer assistive devices, such as wheelchairs to the frail, sick and elderly, to make them less dependent. It’s always encouraged for citizens to stay in their own homes with support for as long as they can. Sick and Older persons should know their rights so that they are empowered to report circumstances that’s not desirable.
