Health care services and supplies at home, where you’re most comfortable
No one wants to stay in the hospital. When you have an illness or injury, Home Care enables you to have some health care services at home, where you are most comfortable. When health care providers come right to your door to help you recover, you’re more likely to stay out of the hospital and emergency room.
You may qualify for home care services from IU Health if you have one of these conditions, among others:
IU Health offers a full range of home care services, including:
The following services are also available through home care:
When you have an infection that can’t be treated with oral medication, you may need to receive your medication as a shot or an infusion. IU Health can deliver these medications to your home and home care nurses will teach you how to take these medications so that you can go home from the hospital as soon as possible, and stay at home. Our team of professionals will work with you and your doctor to make sure your infection is responding the way your doctor expects.
If you have nausea from chemotherapy, radiation, anesthesia, a gastrointestinal condition or pregnancy, you might benefit from anti-emetic medication. If you cannot take oral medication, it can be given by injection or infusion, and our nurses will teach you how to administer. Nausea and vomiting can cause dehydration. You also may benefit from hydration therapy at home.
Some types of chemotherapy can be given at home. Check with your doctor for more information.
IU Health provides injectable and infusion medications for a variety of conditions. Medication and supplies can be delivered to your home, and our pharmacy can prepare individualized doses if needed.
An IU Health home care nurse will give you intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) if you have an autoimmune disorder requiring that medication. Some patients are candidates for subcutaneous administration of immune globulins, and can learn to administer the medication themselves.
Sometimes you need help managing your pain at home to be comfortable. IU Health home care can provide some types of pain medication along with supplies and equipment required. Our lightweight infusion pumps can be preprogrammed to provide the dosing ordered by your doctor.
When you need to have your nutrition from a feeding tube, IU Health home care delivers the supplies and formulas you need. Our home care staff show you and your family how to use and take care of the feeding tube. They’ll also monitor you to make sure you’re getting the nutrition you need.
