Elderly Wellness Checks for Seniors in Peterborough

In-Home Wellness Checks Help Seniors Maintain Their Health And Wellness

Staying healthy, happy and active is a priority for most seniors. In fact, caring for both physical and mental health is key to successfully ageing in place for you or your loved one. In-home wellness checks for seniors, conducted by a Comfort Keepers Peterborough RPN, gives seniors the chance to get advice and support from a healthcare professional between doctor visits. It also empowers you or your loved one to be an active participant in your own healthcare by monitoring for changes in your health.

A wellness check for seniors is a 1-hour visit and assessment with a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN). During this in-home visit, our RPN can check many different aspects of your health including: 

• Nutrition and hydration 
• Medication management

• Urinary health 
• Muscle tone, strength, and mobility
• Lumps, bumps, bruises and moles
• Mental Health (mood and behaviours)

During a wellness check, the RPN can also provide you or your loved one with specific care services like:

How often you schedule an in-home wellness check is up to you. Most of our clients choose to have a check every 3 to 6 months.

Elderly Wellness Checks Put Seniors In Charge Of Their Health 

Wellness checks give seniors access to care in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. They also allow you the chance to identify changes in your wellbeing between doctor appointments. This is critical. Noticing and addressing changes in your health can lead to a faster diagnosis and treatment. With the help of our RPN, any changes to your health or existing medical conditions can be monitored. Your RPN can report results directly to you, your Family Doctor, a specialist, or to your Nurse Practitioner as you specify.
