Chicago Caregivers Should be Registered With Agencies
If the client is in the hospital and suffers from any form of dementia, a private-duty sitter can be hired to sit in the patient’s room. Patients with memory problems have a tendency to wander, and pull catheters and IV lines out which makes it very difficult for the nursing staff to protect the client’s safety. A sitter is a good option. The client/patient is often unaware that someone is in the room with them. The sitter watches over the patient and assists with bathroom visits and helps with meals. This frees up the nursing staff to take care of the medical portion of the patient’s care. For home care during the day, a sitter is an excellent choice. Some will even do light housekeeping.
