Hospital and Assisted Living Sitters in Indianapolis
About our Hospital and Assisted Living Sitters
Hospital and assisted living sitters, often referred to as patient sitters or companion sitters, are individuals who provide companionship and non-medical care to older adults or patients in hospitals, assisted living facilities, or nursing homes. Their primary role is to ensure the safety and comfort of the patient, particularly those who may be at risk of falling, have cognitive impairments like dementia, or need assistance with basic needs and activities. Sitters can offer a calming presence, help with meals, engage in conversation, assist with mobility around the room or facility, and alert medical or care staff if there are any issues or emergencies. They provide continuous supervision when family members cannot be present, ensuring the individual is not left alone.
What risk do seniors face without hospital and assisted living sitters?
Without the presence of hospital and assisted living sitters, several issues may arise, including:
Increased Risk of Falls and Injuries
Without appropriate supervision and home modifications, individuals with dementia are at higher risk for falls, wandering, and accidents due to confusion or poor judgment.
Worsening of Health Conditions
Patients may miss medication doses or fail to follow medical advice in the absence of a sitter, leading to deterioration in their health.
Safety Concerns
Patients with cognitive impairments may wander or engage in activities that compromise their safety without someone to monitor their actions.
