Specialty Services
One of HOMAHA Senior Care’s core principles is to seek out solutions for problems that may be faced by its contracting facilities. This quick-thinking approach is evident in the specialty services they have available.
“In lifting others, we rise”
PHLEBOTOMY SERVICES
Facilities in Nebraska are not required to have a trained nurse on staff to draw blood. Additionally, the nursing staff is already stretched in providing care for the residents. When the labs in Omaha stopped offering phlebotomy services, these SNFs and ALFs faced a dilemma: what is a cost-effective and efficient way to meet the needs of the residents and the expectations of the providers? HOMAHA Senior Care stepped into the gap, hiring a certified medical technologist to meet this need for contracted facilities.
WOUND CARE SERVICES
Skilled nursing facilities are on a tight budget and hiring a certified wound care specialist is often not an option. HOMAHA recognized an opportunity to meet this need through the contracted services of a Certified Wound Care RN. This specialist provides facilities with advice, guidance, and training to ensure excellence in the care of these challenging patients.
COVID-19 RESPONSE
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many changes in the healthcare industry. HOMAHA already had technology in place with HIPPA compliant texting available to its facilities. When COVID-19 restrictions developed, it was simply a push of a button to make audio-video telehealth visits a reality. In this way, HOMAHA Senior Care’s patients were able to remain in close contact with their primary provider and the nursing staff were assured of quick response to questions and concerns in the midst of Red Zones and outbreaks. HOMAHA also expanded medical consultant services to ten states to assist Assisted Living Facilities in providing COVID-19 testing services to their residents and staff. Through these measures, facilities were able to quickly identify infected individuals, prevent outbreaks, implement isolation measures, and keep residents in their homes and out of the hospital.
CUSTOM WELLNESS PLAN
HOMAHA Senior Care provides care to individuals where they live: SNF, ALF or home. Whether acute or chronic illnesses, our providers strive to maximize health and wellness. Through Medicare Annual Wellness Visits, medication review to prevent polypharmacy, and routine health assessments, our goal is to prevent unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital stays. At HOMAHA Senior Care, we are the coach but you are the boss!
