So today’s blog post is,

5 Reasons Why Intensive Care at Home Creates a Safe Space for Long-Term Ventilated Patients and their Families

So let’s get right into it.

1. The focus for intensive care at home, the long-term ventilated clients and their families is all about on the clients and on the family’s needs, which is to be at home with their families. You do not get the same in intensive care, but you do get the intensive care coming into the home, which is why it is so client and family focused, which leads me right into number two.

2. Our clients are at home and that’s where they should be. That’s where they want to be rather than a long-term stay in intensive care, long-term ventilated patients or clients, as well as long-term intensive care patients even if they’re not ventilated, they might be medically complex, should be at home, not in intensive care. It’s all about creating choice for patients, for clients and their families. And that’s what we do at intensive care at home. We focus on clients and families choice.

3. We are focusing on client’s lives and client’s living their lives, not so much on treatment, whilst we’re offering treatment and therapy at home as well. The focus is on both. We are focusing on improving the quality of life for clients and their families. We’re also focusing continuing treatment at home. Whereas in ICU, the focus is only on treatment, not on quality of life.

4. Focus is again on quality of life and quality of end of life. So, some patients in intensive care inevitably approach their end of life, but they can do that at home with our service intensive care at home and they can approach the end of life at home, which is so much more family-friendly, client friendly, and it’s just what clients and their families want. And it also provides a win-win situation. We can help ICU’s to free up their in demand beds and we therefore create capacity for intensive care units to take in critically ill patients that are in a higher need of an ICU bed then long-term ICU patients.

5. And last but not least, especially in Australia, let’s focus on the NDIS for a moment. The National Disability Insurance Scheme, most intensive care units have no idea that the National Disability Insurance Scheme, which is where most of our clients now get their funding from is actually helping intensive care units to empty their ICU beds and they’re not even aware of it...
