Why Should Care Team Home Care Be Your Home Care Agency of Choice?

The Stoker Family has proudly owned and operated Care Team Home Care since 1988. That’s over 30 years that our Care Team staff has provided in-home skilled nursing visits and specialty infusion services for our patients. 

Our long history in the home healthcare industry assures our clients and patients of the most professional, quality healthcare, no matter the intricacies of care, the length of time, or circumstances. 

As we grow older, it gets more difficult to maintain our independence.  That’s where our skilled nurses and aides come in.  Our team is trained to evaluate, consult, and offer a personalized homecare visit program that will help you or your loved one age in place, while retaining as much independence as is possible under whatever circumstances.

 

Skilled Nursing Visits

Skilled nursing care is provided by trained registered nurses under the supervision and guidance of a medical doctor. Basically, it is the same level of nursing care you would get as a patient in the hospital or rehab facility. Skilled nurses can provide some physical therapy, wound care, intravenous injections, catheter care, and more. They are responsible for aiding your continuing recovery after an illness, injury, or surgery.

And our skilled nursing staff will offer you a complete patient assessment.  They’ll check your living space for potential risks of tripping or falling. They will review your medical history, make a list of medications, and answer any questions you may have. They will even give you options for home safety devices to add to your sense of security. 

 

Specialty Infusions

In addition to skilled nursing visits, the Pinellas Care Team specializes in infusion therapy.  Our team is trained to administer medication via IV, directly into the bloodstream, or intramuscularly via a needle.  These outpatient infusion procedures are used to treat a variety of medical conditions.  They are safe, relatively painless, and can offer our patients almost immediate relief.

Most people can benefit from Specialty Infusions.  Patients with chronic pain, patients experiencing nausea from chemo treatments or other medical ailments.  Even those individuals seeking infusion therapy to bolster their physical training regimen or to increase their energy or improve their lifestyle.

 

Quality Care You Can Trust

Care Team’s focus is on quality care with a team approach.  It consists first of sitting with the patient or the patient’s caregivers to do a complete assessment of the patient’s health or recovery status to determine exactly what the patient’s daily needs are.  What type of services are required? How often? Are they ambulatory? Do they need medical supervision? Nursing care or non-medical caregiving?  Short term or long-term care? These are only a few of the questions we determine answers to during our patient evaluation.

Once we have the detailed answers, we create a personalized Plan of Care for each individual patient. We then discuss the patient’s needs and our recommendations with our Care Team Service Coordinators, who then assign the appropriately qualified staff members to the case.  

But our services don’t end there.  Once our personnel are scheduled, we inform the patient about what to expect. The skilled nurse and aide then come out and provide a summary to everyone involved in his or her care.  The patient, client, nurse, or aide are then introduced to each other, expectations are again outlined in more detail, questions are answered, routines are explained, and our services begin. 

 

We Care About Safety

When providing services, our skilled nurses and our aides follow a regimented discipline ensuring safety and hygiene, so you can feel confident that we are keeping your loved one safe.  We wash our hands, we wear masks, we clean and disinfect surfaces, medical equipment, and devices. 

All Care Team Home Care caregivers, nurses, and aides meticulously document the services they provide based on the patient’s Plan of Care. These documents are reviewed by a supervising Care Team Home Care Registered Nurse for adherence to the Plan of Care, as well as to ensure that any changes or notations are noted.

Besides a regular review of notes, we assign a Registered Nurse to visit the patient’s place of residence on at least a quarterly basis to monitor our services and our personnel, to ensure everything and everyone is up to our high standards and to evaluate and address any concerns or changes that might be requested or needed.
