I also want to discuss our attitude toward aging and the elderly The Cape May County Health Department s Home Agency provides home health care to individuals and their families at home.

Senility, an 1 organic charge in the brain > causing various degrees of mental impairment, occurs ) in only a small percentage of people. Often times ; unusual behavior att tributed to senility or aging - is simply the the result of the lack of social contact » Physical changes such as change in hearing, vision > and mobility, can often be dealt with and be partially t or completely corrected, or i at least compensated I STAYING AT home while experiencing physical and mental changes may require ; creative thinking, effort. and persistence The home i itself may have to be somewhat re-organized so that the necessity for climbing steps to the second floor is eliminated G ra b- ba r s may be replaced around the bathtubs and toilets for safety Good lighting .eises some problems However, even after all of these measures have been taKen.1 it may US necessary to sfeelt additional help In tnrefe cases, the Cape May £6anty Health Departments Home Health Agency may> provide the help you need in allowing an older person to maintain the dignity of making decisions in his/her own home The services of the Cape May County Home Health Agency are available under a physician's written orders for the homebound patient For this reason, the services are made ap- I propriate to the individual patient's needs and the needs of the family The pia- ' tient may need skilled nur sing care for a time for the treatment of an illness or an injury . \ THE NIBSE may te^ch/ or train the patient, a fami^ ly member, or others to perform such skilled nursing services as giving an in jection. irrigating a catheter, preparing or following a diet, applying dressings to wounds involving prescription medications and aseptic techniques. align and position a bed-bound patient, perform transfer activities, from bed to bed. from wheelchair to bath tub and to ambulate by means of crutches, walker and cane Sometimes the physician will write orders for speech or physical therapy, especially if the home patient has suffered from a stroke A stroke may cause j some paralysis and aphasia.
