Specialized services at ParaMed

There are many illnesses, diseases, injuries, and situations where a person requires care that can be considered as “specialized”. The reason being that these situations require some particular considerations to be taken into account when providing care to such patients. At ParaMed, we recognize these situations and the special considerations that are unique to these cases. We realize that the caregivers in such conditions need to have special training, a specific personality and/or a specialized expertise. We have therefore developed several specialized home care services programs which include the following:

• Dementia care: This program provides support to clients and families managing and coping with the daily challenges associated with dementia including Alzheimer’s disease. Our trained staff will provide dignified and respectful personal care and companionship with a focus on building relationships in a safe environment. In addition, this program provides an opportunity for caregiver relief.
• Occupational therapy:  Assistance with strategies for daily activities and equipment needed to maintain independence such as wheelchairs, walkers and bathroom equipment
• Physiotherapy:  Advice and assistance with fall prevention and exercise programs to maintain strength, balance and mobility
• Social work:  Provide help and guidance with financial and other situations that help make transitions easier
• Pediatric care and child services: Assistance with families of children dealing with difficult childhood diseases. Services include intravenous care, health teaching, medication management and respite.
• Dieticians:  Education and assistance with nutrition and dietary questions and concerns
