Does My Loved One Have a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)? Home Health Caregiver, NYC

3/18/2022

Comments

 
Picture

Are you a caregiver taking care of someone who's had a Stroke and has difficulty communicating their pain?

Are you taking care of a loved one with Dementia?

Are you taking care of someone who has a Foley Catheter?

Patients and clients with cognitive impairments (brain/memory changes) and those who have Foley Catheters are at an increased risk of getting a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).

It makes it difficult for caregivers to identify a UTI early before it progresses.  And, it can also be very frustrating as the patient cannot fully express nor communicate what their body is going through.

So, here are some tips on what to look for:
1.) Cloudy or dark colored urine,
2.) Urine may even have some blood in it,
3.) Foul smelling odor of the urine,
4.) Frequent urination,
5.) Visible pain/discomfort with urinating (facial expressions),
6.) Unexplained onset of confusion, tiredness/fatigue.

*Also, it is very important for caregivers to properly perform clean practices and hygiene when manually cleaning their patient.  The caregiver should always wipe from front to back, and never wipe from back to front.  Wiping back to front is a common cause of UTIs, and it is completely avoidable by properly wiping/cleaning from front to back.

Now, are you looking to interview new potential caregivers to assist you or your family with daily or overnight caregiving?

Or, are you looking for a place with professionally vetted and trusted home health care givers in New York City?

Not only do we provide in-home physical therapy and in-home occupational therapy... but we also provide in-home nursing, experienced home health aides, and compassionate care companions.

To learn more and to find out if you and your family are the right fit for us, you can call our 24/7 receptionist any time at (646)-781-8884, or if you can't talk right now, you can fill out the form below.
