Home Care Services in Dubai – What You Need to Know

Post author By Nightingale
Post date September 14, 2021

Expert home care and healthcare services in Dubai is difficult to come by. The thought about returning home after a stay in any hospital or clinic is most endearing to any patient. Whatever the nature of the illness or the health condition of the patient, it is both more cost-effective and reassuring for the family to get the patient back home.

Everybody is comfortable of the known and emotionally connected environment that a home provides. But it is better said or wished than done. It’s a daunting task to care for the sick and dependent patient at one’s home, while also being attentive to the patient’s recovery and providing her with ample support to pursue normal activities. So, in comes health care agencies that provide capsule packages for home care depending on the type or severity of the condition.

In a city like Dubai this is especially true for expat families who are mostly two members and with or without children. So, it’s not possible for one of the partners to take a long break from office and even if one is able take that, taking care of children at home as well as caring for the sick one is not a possibility. And if an elderly person needs such medical attention and care at home, it is all the more imperative to get professional home health care services to provide care and nurturing support to elders who are often more sensitive than not. Plus, there are certain conditions like Parkinson’s disease, diabetes or Alzheimer’s disease require specialized care from trained medical nurses in home.

The most common features or services a top-quality home care health agency in Dubai must include:

Case Analysis and Patient Coaching:

The foremost thing is to take in stock of the situation and analyze the patient’s case and design a tailor-made template for her. An advanced health care agency must also ask relevant questions to the patient party to understand the basic environment at their home and derive a fair idea about their lifestyle before designing a package for them. It also helps to coach the patient beforehand to break the ice and make him mentally sign up for the upcoming process and set health goals together in order to keep her motivated.

Trained Nursing Care:

All-round in-home nursing services must include maintaining daily log of the patient’s vital parameters, signs and symptoms as well as proper management of such symptoms and preventing further complications.

Elderly Care:

This is a major area which requires not only medical proficiency but a positive body language and attitude and a sensitive behavior as elders are susceptible to loss of self-esteem in such situations. A well-mannered home care nurse should be able to make a patient feel comfortable while assisting them with day-to-day activities and private rituals as well as self-grooming. Daily home elderly care services include assisting with daily living, dispensing of medication, diet monitoring, helping with movement and prevention of bed sore, as and when applicable.

Palliative Care:

Specialized home palliative care is an important part of home healthcare services as this form of alleviation and soothing of pain makes the journey of life more bearable for patients suffering from terminal illnesses. This also involves a psychological tuning as one needs to spread a message of positivity as far as possible while respecting the patient’s dignity and stay true to medical supervisions.

Cancer Patient Care:

Cancer patients require specialized care and medical attention as a slight change or unwarranted move might disturb their process of recovery and sense of equilibrium. Holistic healthcare for cancer patients at any stage also require an alert and active trained home care nurse.

Maternity and Infant Care:

Stay-at-home maternity care nurses are required by most families post childbirth for optimal postnatal care that includes assisting the new mother with lactation, breastfeeding and providing her ample rest such that she can recover fully. Monitoring the baby’s feeding and sleep cycles as well as helping parents adapt to the multiple needs and moods of babies is a process that home care maternity nurses attunes them with.

Alzheimer’s Disease Care:

Conditions like Alzheimer’s disease require round-the-clock monitoring of not just the patient’s day-to-day activities but also engage her with mental activities like word games and number games and thus help them not to sink into a psychological loop. Plus, such patients often require attention for going out.

How to reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)

Post author By Nightingale
Post date August 10, 2021
No Comments on How to reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)

One of the biggest worries for many new parents is sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), which refers to the sudden unexplained death of an otherwise healthy baby under the age of one, usually during their sleep. Premature babies, or those with a low birth weight, are at greater risk, and it tends to be slightly more common in baby boys. Thankfully, SIDS is rare, and the prevalence has fallen significantly over the past few decades as advice about reducing the risks is more widely shared. While healthcare professionals don’t know exactly what causes SIDS, a lot of research has been done into the things parents and caregivers can do to create a safer sleeping environment for their little one.

Do’s for reducing SIDS

Based on advice from the NHS UK, recommendations are as follows:

always place your baby on their back to sleep
place your baby in the “feet to foot” position – with their feet touching the end of the cot, Moses basket, or pram
keep your baby’s head uncovered – their blanket should be tucked in no higher than their shoulders
let your baby sleep in a cot or Moses basket in the same room as you for the first six months
use a mattress that’s firm, flat, waterproof, and in good condition
breastfeed your baby, if you can
recent studies have found that using a pacifier while the baby is sleeping reduces the risk of SIDS

Dont’s for SIDS

smoke during pregnancy or let anyone smoke in the same room as your baby – both before and after birth
sleep on a bed, sofa, or armchair with your baby
share a bed with your baby if you or your partner smoke, or if you’ve been drinking alcohol, taking any sedative pain relief-medication or sleeping pills
let your baby get too hot or too cold – a room temperature of 16C to 20C, with light bedding or a lightweight baby sleeping bag, will provide a comfortable sleeping environment for your baby. NB. here in the UAE, we’re used to much warmer temperatures, and the recommendation is 22 to 24 degrees Celsius. Signs your baby may be getting too hot include sweating, or their chest feels hot.

You should also visit your pediatrician and/or midwife for regular check-ups to assess their health and development. At Nightingale, we provide a wide range of postnatal support at home or in our clinic, provided by fully-trained nurses.

10 Breastfeeding Questions Every Midwife Gets Asked

Post author By Nightingale
Post date July 27, 2021
No Comments on 10 Breastfeeding Questions Every Midwife Gets Asked

With World Breastfeeding Week coming up on the 1^st to 7^th August, we asked Nightingale’s Public Health Practitioner Julia Youll about some of the most common questions she gets asked by new parents.

Read her advice here and feel free to get in touch with us for one-to-one support on your breastfeeding journey.

1. When will my milk come in, and what can I do about engorgement?

The first stage of milk is called colostrum; it develops during pregnancy and gets replaced by true milk after about three days. You will see the colour and amount of your milk change, but you may also have quite swollen and tender breasts when extra fluid accumulates in the breast tissue.

Try to feed frequently (around every two hours at least) and avoid a backlog of milk. You can soothe any discomfort and drain the breasts by standing under a warm shower, smoothing the skin downwards with a soapy hand. Applying alternate cool and warm flannels or compresses may also help.

Some people recommend applying cooled cabbage leaves straight from the fridge, the savoy variety! Gently expressing by hand between feeds can relieve engorgement, but try to avoid mechanical pumping at this stage as it may make the problem worse. Leaking milk is to be expected but this will settle as the baby grows.

2. How can I tell if my baby is getting enough milk?

Many new mums worry about this in the early days. The immediate signs of optimum milk are plenty of wet and mustard yellow nappies and a baby who falls asleep after their feeds in a milky stupor! You can usually expect your baby to regain their birth weight around two weeks after delivery.

Aim to feed as soon as the baby shows signs of readiness to latch; frequently draining the breasts at a feed will promote a good supply for later. If you have any concerns about your milk supply or the baby settling, it’s worth chatting to a breastfeeding specialist, as many common issues can be resolved quickly. For example, the presence of a tongue or lip tie could affect the baby’s ability to access the milk.

If you’re tired, feeling emotional, or sense that the milk isn’t flowing as fast, try skin-to-skin contact with the baby lying on your chest. Failing that, soak in a bath, try to rest and relax, ask your partner to take the baby for a short while, and drink plenty of fluids. Adrenaline is very powerful and can temporarily disrupt the milk hormone oxytocin if you’re feeling stressed.

3. Do I need to supplement my baby with water or other fluids?

Your baby doesn’t need anything other than breast milk for at least the first five months if you wish to exclusively breast feed. Breast milk adapts to hot climates and extra water is not necessary to quench their thirst.

4. How can I help my baby to latch properly?

Latching effectively from the start can be the key to successful breastfeeding and good milk supply. I recommend speaking to a lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist if you need any help or advice in the early days. Rather than nipple feeding, the baby needs a full open mouth to compress the milk ducts beneath the areola. This is a skill that doesn’t always come naturally to you both, and it’s worth looking for signs that they’re attaching correctly before each feed.

5. What can I do for sore nipples?

Following on from the previous question, a good latch is the best way to prevent very sore nipples, but even then, it’s sometimes difficult to avoid completely. Nipple soreness does get better as time goes on. If you need to use a soothing balm, you can apply pure lanolin cream (hypoallergenic) or even a few drops of breast milk between feeds. If soreness and cracks continue to be a problem other factors need to be ruled out, so it’s worth seeking professional advice. Also, if breastfeeding is painful at any stage of a feed, gently remove your baby and attempt to latch again.

6. How often should I breastfeed?

Feed as frequently as you can in the early weeks, watching for other feeding cues before the baby actually cries. This really boosts milk supply, because the more milk that is removed, the more milk you will continue to make.

After a few weeks when your supply is more established, the baby will be a pro, and while they might still be feeding frequently, the feeds will be much quicker. Bear in mind the baby is programmed to wake at night in the first few months. Plus, the hormones designed to support milk production are higher at night, helping to increase milk production for the next day.

7. What can I eat and drink whilst breastfeeding?

Basically you can eat and drink pretty much everything, though in moderation. Some very sensitive babies may react to certain food substances in your milk, but this is thankfully rare. You can require up to 500 extra calories a day to make milk, so indulge in that chocolate bar! Alcohol and heavily caffeinated drinks are best avoided in the early weeks when the baby is very tiny, but then you can start to enjoy an occasional glass with your evening meal and a coffee in the mornings.

8. How can my husband/partner help whilst I am breastfeeding?

The main tips for your partner are simply to be there, give encouragement and bring plenty of tea and snacks! When the supply is more established, around the four to six-week mark, it’s possible to pump milk so that he can offer a bottle of expressed milk while you have a long bath or an early night. (Our postnatal training classes will help you get trained on milk expressing).

9. How do I feed in public?

This is sometimes a worry initially but soon you will be an expert. The UAE is extremely breastfeeding positive and there are plenty of places to feed if you need privacy in the malls. However, a breastfeeding cover or a thin muslin is perfect when out with friends and family for coffee or lunch. There is no reason why you should be at all limited if you feel comfortable with feeding whilst out and about. Grab a spare nappy and go!

10. When can I start expressing milk?

Gentle hand expressing can be done from the outset to relieve overly full breasts or to soften them before the baby latches. Using a mechanical pump is normally not recommended until the supply and demand system of milk production is aligned (at least 4 weeks). After that, women often want to pump during or after feeds to build up a supply for returning to work or for babysitters. Clearly, it is a very different situation if the baby is in NICU or when you suddenly need to be separated – then, using a breast pump is crucial.

International Nurses Day 2021

Post author By Nightingale
Post date May 11, 2021
No Comments on International Nurses Day 2021

To mark this year’s International Nurses Day on May 12^th, we’ve asked three of Nightingale’s nurses to share a glimpse of their typical day and tell us what they love most about the job.

Malin Ghavami (Head Midwife)

My day frequently starts with a home visit to new mums, usually when their little one is less than four days old. We discuss the delivery and their recovery, and I offer any help and encouragement they need about things like feeding techniques, monitoring the baby’s weight and progress. After each visit, I write up my notes and tell the family when I’ll be visiting them next.

Afterwards, I schedule baby massage sessions for infants who are a few weeks old and sometimes a postnatal massage for their mums. I also manage the nurses in the community, so I dedicate time to training, or we have a general catch-up meeting. Training topics range from perfecting swaddling techniques to discussing clients’ specific needs and how best to address them.

As the day winds down, my colleagues and I discuss the schedule and requirements for the next day, although that can change entirely when a little one needs special attention earlier than planned.

I chose to be a nurse because I wanted a profession that I could be proud of, where I can positively impact people’s lives, be it the mummies or their sweet little babies. There’s no better feeling.

Julia Youll (Public Health Practitioner)

I wanted to be a nurse ever since I was six years old and was given a nurse’s uniform for Christmas, complete with a medical bag. My grandfather was a GP and I was fascinated by the surgery and all the paraphernalia (in those days kept at his home). As soon as I turned 17, I started applying to teaching hospitals in London.

We were trained at the hospital and had a lot of practical time on the wards, interspersed by study blocks.

We certainly weren’t supernanny as students in those days, and we wore stiff starched detachable collars, cotton frilly caps and proper aprons!

I usually start my morning checking in with the families that I’m supporting with sleep problems, and it’s always great to hear that a good night has been achieved. Everyone has a new lease of life when they’re feeling rested.

My home visits (or calls) usually take place in the afternoons. It’s really productive to see babies and their parents in their home environment. After an hour or so’s discussion, I go away and create a plan for families to work with. This is tailor-made, specific to each one’s circumstances and dynamics. Follow-up may entail tweaking the plan, or looking at different ideas, but in general, a family without sleep deprivation is a happier one. Even a small change can make a huge difference.

Hermina (Nurse)

Working as a nurse at Nightingale gives me the opportunity to support families during an incredibly important yet challenging time ,and it’s wonderful to see them experience so many beautiful firsts together.

Baby Afra, born earlier this year, was premature and underweight. She was so small and delicate. The first time I held her, I could feel her vulnerability and how much love and care she needed. I fed her every three hours with precise measurements of milk and the correct feeding technique, checking her weight every ten days. She started gaining weight and every day she amazed us with her smile. Now, when I look at her playing and giggling, I can’t explain the happiness I feel having being part of her life. Moments like these are why I decided to become a nurse.

All you need to know about home care nursing services in Dubai

1 Comment on All you need to know about home care nursing services in Dubai

Are you having a troubling time worrying about the ailing loved one at home? Is your loved one recovering at home in the post-operative phase or you have an elderly member at home of whom you are not being able to take proper care? You are not alone in this situation, in a fast-paced city like Dubai there are several people like you who are not able to do enough for their loved one at home due to their busy work schedule and demands of professional life.

You shouldn’t blame yourself for this inability. We can understand providing your loved one nursing home care always can burn a hole in your pocket. It is during these situations you can look for an alternative. And that alternative is home healthcare services or in-home healthcare agencies.

In-home healthcare agencies in Dubai provides home nursing and home healthcare services so that you can get nursing home-like care for your loved ones at home at a much more affordable price. If you are looking to hire a general nurse for the patient at your home do consider visiting one of the many in-home healthcare agencies in your city for specialised nurses.

In-home healthcare agencies have a workforce which comprises of nurses, midwife, caregivers specially trained to handle a specific health condition of a patient. So, a maternity nurse will vary from a nurse trained to provide care to the elderly, terminally ill or cancer patients. So, go and choose your nurse from an in-home healthcare agency for a specially trained person suitable to your needs.

Another advantage of an in-home healthcare agency is that the Agency doctors will be in constant touch with the nurse and maintain a report about the health condition of your patient. Which will be shared with you periodically so that you can monitor the developments closely and even report the same to the doctor that you have been consulting for your patient. Besides, a trained home nurse is much better equipped for responding to emergencies, promptly and correctly advocating the medicines, checking the blood pressure of the patient and doing some preliminary tests on the patient or injecting the medicine.

You can ensure that by hiring a nurse from a reputed home healthcare agency you are not duped as you can always check the certificates of a nurse employed by a home nursing agency. We doubt nurse whose contact you get to know through your neighborhood hardly could produce a certificate of her course. So be careful about choosing your nurse and lessen your worries. it’s not just about entrusting the keys of your home to someone it’s about taking care of the health of your loved one at home and in your absence.

Let’s understand the services of the nurse provided by the home healthcare agencies.

Maternity Nurse or a Nanny

A maternity nurse or a nanny is someone who takes care of the mother and the newborn in the postnatal phase after the mother has given birth to a child. In case of cesarean child and more intense care required by the mother your in-home health care agency will provide a nurse who is well equipped in dressing the C section wound of the mother and advocate her the medicines and also monitor the bleeding frequency of the mother.

A maternity nurse takes care of both the baby and the mother. She maintains cleanliness in the house, maintains a high standard of hygiene, can even prepare meals for the mother as per the diet chart. She will also teach first time mother how to breastfeed her child and will be a complete counsellor for the new mother of how to take care of her child and her health and also would encourage the new mother to come out of the depression phase that sets in a woman after giving birth to a child and help her cope up with normal life.

Nurse for Aging and terminally ill patients

You may have an elderly at home who constantly gives you blues for not being able to manage their daily activities. Simply taking a bath or eating on time can become irregular for them. Since you cannot manage them the whole day due to your work, it is desirable to hire a part-time elderly care nurse from a home nursing agency.

The part-time elderly care nurse will not just create a strict routine for your elderly loved one but bring back dignity to his/her life. She will give your loved one company, make him feel important, keep depression at bay, take him /her for a short walk at the same time maintain hygiene in the house, monitor medicines for them and help them with daily chores.

Critical patient caregiver

With cancers becoming a reality of our society and more elderly people suffering from it, you should be both financially and mentally be ready for such circumstances. To help create some positivity at home you can hire a critical caregiver nurse from a home nursing agency, someone who is mentally tough and have handled such patients before. A good caregiver can share your pain and inspire your struggle.

Do consult a home nursing agency before making up your mind of hiring a nurse for the different circumstances discussed above or more situations to lessen your worries.

Are You Looking for a Home Nurse? Here’s What You Need to Know Before Hiring One

Post author By Nightingale
Post date June 17, 2019
1 Comment on Are You Looking for a Home Nurse? Here’s What You Need to Know Before Hiring One

Home healthcare over the last decade has improved a lot. You can now provide care to your loved one suffering from ill-health, needs post-operative care, elderly, chronically ill, has cognitive problems or having any disabilities without having the patient travel to a nursing home. Trained in-home nurses provided by registered in-home care agencies in a city like Dubai brings medically professional home care for your patient without having you to sacrifice your time from your professional life for taking care of your ailing loved one at home. These home care nurses provided by home health care agencies are qualified medical professionals with training and education certifications required for a caregiver and with qualities to administer care related to health conditions such as diabetes, gastroenteritis related issues, colostomy, respiratory, post-operative care, cognitive impairments, locomotion impairments etc.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF IN-HOME CARE NURSES

Before choosing a nurse for you suffering loved one, the first thing that you need to ensure is to have a detailed discussion about the health condition of the patient with the home healthcare agency by producing all the investigation reports and doctor prescriptions to avail a home nurse specialising in care for a condition that your patient is suffering from.

On a general basis, in-home care nurses can be broadly divided into three categories.

I. ADL
II. IADL
III. Companionship

ADL ( Activities for Daily Living or Self Care)

If your patient requires something more than medical care like help, support and care related to daily activities such as bathing, mobility etc, then you should go for a nurse specialist in ADL care.

Basic ADL activities include:

Support with the feeding of the patient
Mobility of the patient that may include getting up from the chair or out of the bed. The nurse would assist the patient with the correct postures of movement etc.
Assistance with dressing and choosing the right fabric of the dress for better comfort.
Maintaining the highest standards of hygiene during this susceptible phase of the patient. Helping the patient to maintain toilet hygiene and avoid various infections such as a Urinary tract infection or maintain personal hygiene such as hair styling, brushing etc.
Assistance with daily activities such as bathing and shower.

IADL ( Instrumental Activities of Daily Living)

These mostly support activities instrumental to daily living and functioning.
Such activities include:

Maintenance of cleanliness in the room where the patient is living to create a dust-free environment with minimum germs inhabiting in the area. Maintaining strict discipline to ensure visitors family members frequenting the patient room follow certain do’s and don’t’s.
IADL home health care nurses prepare meals for the patient keeping in mind the diet of the patient at the same time including ingredients for a healthy diet of the patient and maintaining a routine and timing of meals for the patient. The home nurse may also go for shopping buying necessities and medicines for the patient with even responsibilities of managing the funds and expenses related to the patient. An IADL nurse may at the end of a week provide you with a summary of expenses that happened during the week.

Based on your requirement for the patient purely depending on medical monitoring, ADL or IADL choose your home caregiver after thorough consultation with your home care services agency.

Another category of home-care nurses provided by home care agencies is companionship based. Let’s know more about this category in details.

Companionship and positive mental health caregiver nurses

Companionship home care nurses ensure that they supply the positive spirit required by your patient to recover and get well. They also supply confidence to terminally ill patients such as the ones suffering from any kind of cancer to fight the disease with a positive spirit. Companionship also includes spending time with the patient, engage in positive conversations during hours when near and dear ones of the patient are out of the home due to work. Do keep in mind that these category of nurses are not necessarily only medical caregivers and their role goes beyond just providing assistance with activities to the patient. This category of nurses is also recommended for patient suffering from depression related to their disease or in requirement of any kind of psychological counselling.

We hope that this blog will now help you choose a home care nurse for your loved one more judiciously in a city like Dubai which provides home care services with registered ADL, IADL and companion nurses enrolled with them.

Professional nannies bring warmth, care, and support for both newborns and new mothers

Post author By Nightingale
Post date December 21, 2018
No Comments on Professional nannies bring warmth, care, and support for both newborns and new mothers

Motherhood–undoubtedly an enriching experience for a mother and her family–brings a whole new set of physical and emotional adaptations that need to be undertaken and it means a lifestyle reorientation. In this phase of transition to motherhood, a professional caregiver like a nanny for your newborn helps make it smooth, particularly in the jet-setting city like Dubai where professional priorities, lifestyle challenges, relationship demands, self-image perceptions, and emotional pressures are the realities experienced by most families in varying degrees. Since Dubai has a huge expat population, it rings true for them hugely and hence the need of a nanny in the absence of the traditional family support system.

Motherhood for modern women is also a multidimensional phenomenon today as women are exposed to multiple sources of information thanks to social media and support groups. However, the truth remains that every experience is true because it is lived thorough and hence it is unique for every one. So, even though there is more information and awareness today, the most intimate and the most crucial adaptations in a mother’s life only comes in the natural environment of the home. A mother and her baby has to be cared for and every aspect of motherhood and infant care has to be decoded only in the sacred space of the home. Which means the traditional support system in the form of family and friends remains vital.

Here, one point must be made clear that this traditional and most valuable support system, which we know in the name of family including the husband or partner (mostly immediate family) and often close friends, is not that readily and wholly available given they themselves are caught between several professional and lifestyle demands.

Another thing to be kept in mind is that it is not just the availability factor but the level of professionalism and know-how that is required to assist at home infant care. There is no mid-way or a casual approach to baby care after birth as it has to be done under thorough medical guidance and the able hands of a professional care-giver.

Full-time or part-time nannies are those professional care-givers who can assist you with postnatal recovery, infant care at home, and perform daily baby care chores with both efficiency and a degree of personal warmth.

Most professional nannies come with the requisite medical qualification to be able to guide the new mother on breastfeeding techniques, maintain a proper dietary chart and schedule for the newborn, monitor the mother’s recovery and adaptability to breastfeeding, monitor the baby’s sleep cycle, help the mother rest adequately by taking care of the baby, and gradually assist the mother in adapting to the baby’s feeding and sleeping cycles.

Another aspect of training that professional nannies come equipped with is age-appropriate language training and familiarizing children with elementary tools of learning. Qualified nannies impart good manners, spend time with the child at the nursery, play learning games, help children identify trees, plants, food items, numericals, basic colours etc in engaging and playful ways. This requires the nanny to be proficient with learning games as well as have a child-friendly disposition.

Since nannies operate with the most special member of one’s family–the child–who is also the most vulnerable, they need to come from reliable personal and professional backgrounds to be entrusted with such a crucial responsible. Also, since a professional nanny often performs chores in the private space of a home and that which involve close proximity to the body, it is of paramount importance that your home maternity nurse has impeccable manners and high standards of personal hygiene along with a pleasing disposition.

It is here that nanny agencies come into the picture as they are professionally-run centers that run background checks to ensure complete reliability based on proven track record or the fulfillment of certain formal criterion laid down as the agency checklist.

Ensuring safety and security of the child and the mother, agencies provide registered nannies with the required skill-set to take care basic medical care of babies and administer first-aid whenever necessary beside maintaining the daily dose of nutrition for both mother and child.

Nanny agencies conduct interviews with prospective nannies on the grounds of their childhood, education, experience and exposure, expectations from their ideal job, language proficiency, etiquette to suggest the ideal nanny four home based on their compatibility with your lifestyle and the requirements as per the setting your home environment.

Agencies provide both full-time and part-time nannies, home maternity nurses and infant nurses, nurses for baby care after birth and nursery nurses. Most top-rated nanny agencies will schedule interviews with shortlisted nannies, often at the convenience of your home, and help you select the best one for your loved ones.

The best part of hiring via a nanny agency is that the procedure of hiring happens with proper paper work and necessary security checks. The nanny in question also gets familiarized with their prospective employer, which helps them understand the employer’s requirement right from the beginning.
