Sharp Home Care Hospital Sitter Care

Benefits of a Hospital Sitter

• The original caregiver, often a family member, does not have to miss work or other important events/meetings and can take a much-needed break.
• The patient is not left alone. We sit with the patient while the family is away—companionship and emotional support is constant.
• If having an outpatient procedure or surgery, we can help keep company while in recovery.
• We may be able to run important personal errands for you and the patient.
• We provide an extra pair of hands when needed.
• Assist patient with basic personal care, and to move or walk around.
• Monitor patient’s vital signs.
• Detect changes in the condition of patient.
• Alert nursing staff when patient needs help.
• Maintain records of care provided for patient for your use.
• Maintain confidentiality of patient information.
• Adhere to relevant policies, procedures, and standards.
• Our sitters are trained to de-escalate and reduce physical stress on patient. In addition, all are trained to help minimize potential patient injuries from falls and pulling out tubes or oxygen connections.
• Encourage meals and fluids.
• Communicate with patient’s doctors and staff.
• Most times, we can start service within 24 hours.
• We customize the sitter schedule to the exact hours or shift you need the most.
• Ease the discharge process.
• Drive your loved one home from the hospital, if needed.
