Home Health Care Tools and Technology

Enabling older adults to stay independent at home

Staying in your home as you age, instead of moving into a managed care or assisted living facility – is becoming easier than ever thanks to breakthroughs in home health care tools and technology.

These products and technologies can perform a host of functions, from handling communication with care staff to enabling alert notifications and making the sometimes-complicated process of taking medications easier to follow.

Knute Nelson Home Health Care Tools and Technology

These home health care tools and technology are all offered by Knute Nelson Home Health Care, which for decades has led the senior care market in Minnesota with a wide variety of solutions for aging adults.

Let’s look at some of these exciting tools:

Therapy to improve strength and balance:

Knute Nelson offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy to help individuals recover and maintain independence at home. Therapists can prescribe and assist with simple at-home exercises, many of which can be performed while seated, that help improve strength and balance and lead to reduced falls and injuries.

Home modifications and equipment recommendations:

Knute Nelson’s caring professionals can assess an individual's living space and make recommendations for making it safer, including installing grab bars, fixing problem flooring, installing non-slip mats, and more.

Medication management:

There are now attractive, affordable, easy-to-use pill dispensers that eliminate the danger of missed meds or taking meds at the wrong times. These include light and sound notifications.

Personal Emergency Response Systems:

A staple for years, emergency call pendants are highly useful when older adults fall or need emergent assistance. Worn around the neck and activated by pushing a single button, these pendants provide mobile medical alert assistance and can also sense when the client has a fall. GPS information is also available through the pendant.

Help with household tasks:

Knute Nelson Home Health Care has staff who can help with many household tasks, including cleaning, cooking, companionship, shopping, and more.
